"Sets the standard by which other music memoirs must now be judged".
David Vanian - The Damned
"Packed with the laugh out loud and horrid things about being in a a band."
Patricia Morrisson - The Gun Club, Sisters of Mercy
"The Rhythm Method whacks you in the face fast and furious right from the beginning and just doesn’t stop. In this vividly honest tale of the extraordinary, triumphant life and demise of pop group The Rezillos/Revillos, the author doesn’t let up even when it comes to the gory stories. He gives us a backstage pass to the mythology that pop is all a high. It was a long time coming but it’s worth it."
ALF MARTIN Melody Maker; Sounds and Record Mirror editor
Heroes
The Rhythm Method Introduction (condensed)
By Edward Tudor Pole,Tenpole Tudor
"The story you are about to read will explain why we won the war - not how, but why. Which war? Any war.
It is a tale of heroism, determination and endurance in the face of huge odds and is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the human spirit under duress.
Nicky personifies the characteristics that have produced so many fine Englishmen over the centuries and have made our country great, such as Drake,Nelson and so forth (and which qualities that pernicious evil, 'Health and Safety' has been doing its best to erode in recent times, damn it to hell).
Anyone who seriously wants to be a rock'n'roll star should read this hugely entertaining account. It is a universal story.

About me:
You can purchase the book at http://revillos.co.uk/rhythm/
Or ask your local bookseller for ISBN 978-0-9545985-3-2
The book, The Rhythm Method, should be required reading for every nascent pop star or armchair music fan.
You don’t even have to be familiar with the Rezillos/Revillos to enjoy mainlining this outstanding, un-put-downable memoir, which is peppered with the spicy minutiae of rock.
Nicky Forbes, a.k.a. Revillos drummer Rocky Rhythm, draws on his musical escapades in the 1970s punk scene and beyond into the 1980s, recalling memorable anecdotes that are part travelogue, part rites-of-passage, but absolutely all rock’n’roll.
Amongst others, Nicky has worked with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, Keith Levine of PIL, David Vanian’s Phantom Chords, Tenpole Tudor, the Pork Dukes, and with singers as diverse as pop princess Sinitta, to the Clash’s Joe Strummer.
Published as a limited edition by Suffolk and Watt books, and with a cover designed by renowned lowbrow fetish artist Vince Ray, The Rhythm Method is destined to become a cult classic.
