It was a time of titanic heavy metal gods, and for the members of the bar band Raw Deal, it was their love of the music led them into the clubs and eventually onto the stage. The bonds that were formed as they lived with their days and nights reversed were never broken and left a lasting mark on all who were part of it. Gradually the band’s cover songs gave way to original material and an offer from a record company, but as often happens, reality intervened.In his second novel, Nick Apuzzo pulls us into the lives of a heavy metal cover band. From uncertain beginnings spent auditioning for that elusive ’chemistry’, to the weekend chaos and mayhem of crowded New York and New Jersey nightclubs, Nick takes us on a wild and often hilarious ride that was the live music scene in the early 1980’s.
