The only memoir I've ever read that accurately, vividly and, most importantly, poignantly illustrates life in a ‘one hit wonder’ band with all it's ups and loads of downs. Magnificent! I couldn't put it down. MIKE SWEENEY presenter, Manchester XFM, Piccadilly and Rock Radio The Rhythm Method is that rarest of things; a rock memoir that is long on insight and short on self-indulgence. Instead it's a finely paced, engaging, bleakly humorous travelogue that takes you into the trenches, acknowledges the deprivations and discomforts, but never loses sight of the glory of the great pop music moment - no matter how much fate, the record-buying public and BBC studio engineers conspire against you. ALEX OGG music journalist and author of No More Heroes |

Kept me awake two nights in a row; one reading it, the next trying to erase the sex scenes from my mind. A handy reminder never to be in a band, even a great one. MARK LAMARR TV and radio presenter |

Who'd want to play in a band like this? Nicky's book is essential reading for wannabe pop stars, fans and music biz veterans. LOYD GROSSMAN broadcaster and guitarist |

Sometimes, a music book comes along which raises the bar - one that redefines its genre - and The Rhythm Method does just that. It reads like a novel as the author drops you decisively on the drum stool, centre-stage, enmeshing the reader in the panoply of authentic rockgroup experiences. The Rhythm Method sets the standard by which other music memoirs must now be judged. DAVID VANIAN The Damned |

The Rhythm Method whacks you in the face fast and furious right from the beginning and just doesn't stop. In this vividly honest tale of the extraordinary, triumphant life and demise of pop group The Rezillos/Revillos, the author doesn't let up even when it comes to the gory stories. He gives us a backstage pass to the mythology that pop is all a high. It was a long time coming but it's worth it. ALF MARTIN Melody Maker, Sounds and Record Mirror editor. |
