Before TikTok. Before Instagram. Before adulting had a name... there was just a mad dream, a battered van, and the kind of tour no one was expected to survive.
Shaun Morris didn't set out to become a legend. He just wanted to escape small-town boredom and throw himself into chaos, music, and mischief.
Attention-Seeking Missile is his jaw-dropping, hilarious and unexpectedly moving memoir of growing up wild, hitting the road, and stumbling into a world of anarchic gigs, insane pranks, and close calls. It's a front-row ride through the golden era of British misrule, told with brutal honesty and biting humour.
There are near-death moments, outrageous parties, bottomless hangovers, and flashes of genuine emotional clarity. From sticky-floored venues to brushes with the law, this is the story of what happens when you chase the noise, live with no filter, and somehow survive the fallout.
If you've ever felt the thrill of rebellion, the pull of escape, or the sting of crashing and burning in full view - this book is for you.
Perfect for fans of Viv Albertine's Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys, Keith Richards' Life, and Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angels, this is memoir as pure, unapologetic adrenaline.
Attention-Seeking Missile is loud, raw, and unforgettable - a love letter to chaos, youth, and the belief that even the worst night might become your best story.
