September 12th will see the release of a new biography on Faith No More titled ‘Small Victories: The True Story Of Faith No More‘ via Jawbone Press. The 376-page book was penned by Adrian Harte, who runs the band’s unofficial fan site newfaithnomore.com. The group themselves were impressed enough by the quality of the book to give it their endorsement with various members, managers and more having taken part in it. The group’s bassist Billy Gould commented:
“When I first heard about this Faith No More biography, I didn’t know what to think. But I have to give credit where it is due. It’s a quality piece. The man has done his research, and it shows. It provided me with more than a few revelations… and I’m in the band.”
The below official synopsis was released for book:
“‘Small Victories…‘ tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fueled the band, forensically examines the band’s beginnings in San Francisco’s post-punk wasteland, and charts the group’s ascent to MTV-era stardom. Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews, the book combines a fan’s passion with a reporter’s perspicacity.”
You can pre-order it now through Amazon.
