Product Information

In four years the teenage members of the Runaways did what no other group of female rock musicians before them could: they released four albums for a major label and toured the world. The Runaways busted down doors for every girl band that followed. Joan Jett, Sandy West, Cherrie Currie, lead guitarist Lita Ford, and bassists Jackie Fox and Vicky Blue were pre-punk bandits, fostering revolution girl style decades before that became a riot grrrl catchphrase. The story of the Runaways has never been told in its entirety. Drawing on interviews with most of this seminal rock band's former members as well as controversial manager Kim Fowley, Queens of Noise will look beyond the lurid voyeuristic appeal of a sex-drugs-rock 'n' roll saga to give the band its place in musical, feminist, and cultural history.

Reviews
"For a grim and gritty look at the rise and fall of the band, as well as a look at sexual politics in the 70s and in the 70s rock scene, this is a fascinating book. And for fans of The Runaways, like me, this is a must have." Bookviews "Full of insights." The Advocate , 8/9/13 "Brilliant, must-read." San Antonio Express News , 8/4/13 "This book may be the first Runaways project to successfully represent all five members of the classic lineup...Instead of a riot of conflicting opinions, McDonnell skillfully weaves a coherent narrative that looks at both sides of 'he said, she said,' or is often the case, 'she said, she said.'" Houston Press , 8/21/13 " Queens of Noise  is as wild a read as was the Runaways' short-lived career.

  • Book 'Queens Of Noise' Totally AWESOME!!!!!

    For anyone who is a Runaways fan this is a must read! Evelyn McDonnell tells the full, well-rounded story that Neon Angels and Edgeplay failed to reveal. This book was so captivating I read the entire thing in a day. The author goes into detail about each of the band members including the 'almost' Runaways like Micki Steele. It explains to the reader just what it was like in California in the 70's; the attitudes, ambitions, etc. What impressed me most was the information she was able to get on Sandy West not just during the band years but what her life turned into after the break-up. It'll break your heart. This is an awesome book and the subtitle is spot on. It IS the real story of the Runaways. Sandy would be proud.

  • Great
