Synopsis
With guitar-driven punk pop to rival top US groups like Blink 182 and Wheatus - Busted were a breath of fresh air when they burst onto the scene in 2002 with the catchy single "What I Go To School For", followed by "Year 3000". Busted aim to be the natural antidote to choreographed boy bands and this book offers a scrapbook of the group's personal rock'n'roll memorabilia, reflecting their rapid rise to fame. Surfing, shooting pool, football, gigging - a series of snapshots of life in young, bright, guitar-driven Britain in 2003. Every tale is told by the lively Busted 18-year-olds, Mattie, Charlie and James, oozing wit, style and charm. Added to the mix are exclusive photographs of the band in recording and television studios, on the road and live on stage during their first tour in May 2003.

Customer Reviews

Good book
OK i would like to get the opputurnity to say that this BAND ISN@T MANUFACTURED. IF YOU READ IT YOU WOULD KNOW. anyway i got this for my birthday, and the pictures are great and so on and so forth. Massive fan but i didn't give it 5 stars because i don't think it was really UMFF it the word. I have readlots of book like this like 'david lee roth' and 'eddie izzard' and i sorta compared this to them, so maybe next time they could try a bit better? Sorry guys!

WAt more would u want??

Guide to fleecing kids
I had to suffer this pile of tripe whilst looking after a neice. This band ( I use the term very loosely) are about as punk as Britney, obviously just another talentless manufactured band released to fleece kids of paper-round money.

A word of advice to the teeny floppers, if you're going to mime playing instruments, try and look like you know what you're doing.

(I wish they had a no star option here)
