New from Jawbone: The Definitive Biography of Faith No More

SMALL VICTORIES THE TRUE STORY OF FAITH NO MORE ADRIAN HARTE The definitive biography of one of the most intriguing bands of recent decades. Published September 12 2018 by Jawbone Press.

‘When I first heard about this Faith No More biography, I didn’t know what to think. But I have to give credit where it is due, it’s a quality piece. The man has done his research, and it shows. It provided me with more than a few revelations ... and I’m in the band.’ BILL GOULD, FAITH NO MORE Written with the participation of the group’s key members, Small Victories tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal, and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fuelled the band, forensically examines the band’s beginnings in San Francisco’s post-punk wasteland, and charts the factors behind the group’s ascent to MTV-era stardom. Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews, Small Victories strips away the mythology and misinformation behind their misanthropic masterpiece, Angel Dust; explores the rationale behind the frequent hiring and firing of band members; and traces the unraveling of the band in the mid-1990s. It also examines the band’s breakup and hiatus, and their unwelcome legacy as nu-metal godfathers, and gives a behind-the-scenes view of their rebirth.

Adrian Harte is an experienced journalist and communications professional who works as a media intelligence manager for UEFA, the European football governing body. Since 2009 he has run newfaithnomore.com, through which he has become known and trusted by the band, their management, and their fans. He lives in Aubonne, Switzerland.
