'An Anarchy of Demons' is the long anticipated autobiography by U.K. Subs' legendary leader Charlie Harper.
Charlie's fascinating story is told in his own unique style, taking the reader through his early years as a 'war baby', his time at boarding schools for misfit boys, his adventurous youth, his struggles and escapades as a bass player, his turbulent personal life as well as his incredible journey with the U.K. Subs, as a solo artist and with his many side-project bands.
Illustrated throughout with many unseen photos from his own collection, this will be without doubt, the most talked about punk rock book of the year.
The book boasts a wonderful Foreword written by Rancid's Lars Frederiksen with the book's stunning cover artwork being supplied by Steve Dann (Magpie Art), of which the original hangs in Charlie's house.
Charlie Harper's 'An Anarchy of Demons' contains 478 full-colour pages that provide a unique insight into what made him the punk icon he is today.
The U.K. Subs are the soundtrack for so many of us. Charlie's voice is one of a kind. He's our voice of the voiceless.
He's our elder statesman. He's our King of Punk. Long live the king. Lars Frederiksen (Rancid)
