Brooklyn's Last Secret
A rip-roaring journey through the highs and lows of tour life
Welcome aboard the tour van of Major Threat--Brooklyn's finest rock band yet to catch a break--as they traverse the US of A on a last-ditch summer festival tour. On drums we've got "band dad" Ed, the stoic drummer who keeps bumping into tech bro coworkers that he can't quite relate to. On bass, there's Paul, a man of mostly mystery, who drinks hard and yet manages to glide through life, intelligible to no one except energy-drink-guzzling Marco, the baby of the band and newest replacement lead singer. And of course there's the gentle and serene Lillith, a weed-lollipop-sucking, stuffed-animal-backpack-wearing guitarist healing from heartbreak.

And if, for whatever reason, you've decided to start or join a band, I implore you, before you go any further: PLEASE. READ THIS BOOK! It's so beautifully done, heavy on laughs, thick with heartbreak, and honestly the best depiction of band/tour life I have ever read. I feel so seen, it's disgusting. I'm disgusted. Because it's SO GOOD."--Tunde Adebimpe, TV on the Radio
"Brooklyn's Last Secret is an extremely good time. A beautiful, dreamlike, elliptical story that is also the most accurate description of what it's like to tour that I've ever read. It also made me thank god that my gigging days are over."--John Wray, Godsend and Lowboy "The most realistic and entertaining band-on-tour story that I've read...Sign me up for the European tour!"--Mark Ibold, Pavement "It you want, you can just read this book and skip tour. Because this is what tour is like."--Luke Jenner, The Rapture
