Rock Critic Law: 101 Unbreakable Rules for Writing Badly About Music

Rock Critic Law is a hilarious exposé of the hackneyed metaphors, knee-jerk clichés, and lazy thinking that have long plagued music journalism.

Written as a set of inviolable rules to be followed only by the very worst writers, this book collects 101 of the most egregious offenders, from "If a band pioneered something, you must say they are 'seminal'" to "Even when it's easy to find out with research, by all means ask a band how they got their name." With original illustrations from Ed Fotheringham, this book is a unique appreciation of music writing from one of its own.

Whether you're a music lover or just looking for a good laugh, Rock Critic Law is the perfect read.

Don't miss out on this wickedly droll exposé of the world of rock criticism!
