A code-red book... Drop what you're reading and read this
immediately... A rip-snorting, rollicking ride from obscurity to
rock 'n' roll debauchery and through the other side.
*Alex James, Blur*
Brilliant, funny, sharply-observed... The airport-busting novel of
the summer
*Loaded*
Powder is more essential to your well-being than 97 percent of the
albums that'll come out this year.
*Melody Maker*
A pacey and hilarious catalogue of vanity, insecurities, bonhomie
and belligerence... A portrait of the contemporary music industry
that is almost uncanny in its accuracy.
*Independent*
Tells it like it is - Sampson is never better than when revelling
in the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll - All young bands should be
made to read Powder; if it doesn't put them off, nothing will
*The Times*
