City Baby: Surviving in Leather, Bristles, Studs, Punk Rock, and G.B.H

City Baby: Surviving in Leather, Bristles, Studs, Punk Rock, and G.B.H

by Ross Lomas Author and Steve Pottinger Author

This is a story about living without a safety net and getting away with it. Teenage punk rock milkman Ross Lomas strapped on a bass and joined G.B.H onstage in 1981. Leading the charge of U.K. hardcore punk, G.B.H lit up British pubs, European squats, and American highways with a wall of sound and mile-high spikes. Living by his own rules, for better or for worse, Ross Lomas riots with violent skinheads, metal hippies, rip-off managers, Neil Sedaka, and the Argentine cavalry, and tries to make sense of adulthood. Ross and his G.B.H family don t escape unscathed, but they never surrender.
