Nick Kent writes rock journalism and memoir from inside the volatile music culture of the 1970s and early 1980s. The Dark Stuff collects long profiles of musicians including Brian Wilson, Iggy Pop, Keith Richards and Syd Barrett, often concentrating on addiction, obsession and the destructive side of artistic careers. Apathy for the Devil is a memoir of Kent's years at New Musical Express, his involvement with the punk scene and his own drug use, combining industry history with personal decline. Kent's prose is dramatic, highly subjective and steeped in the style of classic British rock criticism. His work fits music memoir, rock journalism and punk-era cultural history. Read more Less
