Written with the cooperation of Matt Johnson and full access to his archives, this is the first biography of one of the titanic figures of the UK alternative rock scene. Active since 1979, The The are perhaps bigger than they have ever been, despite the lack of activity from the band from 2003 to 2017. 2018 saw the return of The The, selling out the Royal Albert Hall in 8 minutes for their first gigs in over fifteen years and announcing a re-issue of their back catalogue. This edition brings the reader up-to-date with an additional chapter cover Matt Johnson's life since 2017.
