Synopsis
A raw, unfiltered ride through the music industry’s underbelly—told from the van, not the penthouse.
Behind every stadium-filling superstar are thousands of musicians fighting to keep the dream alive. In Loud Medicine, rock musician James Kennedy pulls back the curtain on the real lives of working musicians, far from the private jets and five-star hotels. This is the music industry as you’ve never seen it before: gritty, chaotic, and unvarnished.
With sharp wit and unapologetic honesty, Kennedy dismantles the myths of rock stardom, revealing what it truly means to carve out a career in music today. From the relentless grind of touring to industry scams, dysfunctional bandmates, and the ever-present struggle to “make it,” Loud Medicine is part exposé, part manifesto, and all heart. Packed with stories from the road and a few well-aimed punches at music’s biggest gatekeepers, this is a love letter to the only medicine music lovers can’t live without.

Hardback. Condition: New. The music industry as you've never seen it before - from the bottom. Music. We all love it. We can't live without it! But what exactly is it? Why is it so awesome? And who are the mysterious figures who create it, perform it and keep us all stocked up with the good stuff? What's it really like to be in a band and just how bad is the music industry? In his new book, rock'n'roll underdog James Kennedy takes us on a tour through the hidden lives of the every-day musician - this isn't hotel room trashing but how 99% of musicians live in the real world. Blowing away the usual mythologies and pulling no punches, Loud Medicine is a rough and ready rollercoaster ride - OK, transit van ride - into the secret world of the modern day musician. It's also an exposé of music's many enemies, a manifesto for change and a love letter to everyone's favourite medicine. There will be rants, dramas, a cast of dysfunctionals, big ideas, industry scam shockers, truth-bombs, f-bombs, the likely crucifixion of a beloved music icon or two - and yes, of course, there will be road stories. So come and squeeze in amongst the drum cases and warm beers, and let's hit the road! Seller Inventory # LU-9781837600076
