Destiny Stopped Screaming: The Life and Times of Adrian Borland

Adrian Borland and his band The Sound should have been massive. That's a bit of a cliche, but its true.This is the book that fans of The Sound have been waiting for. A hugely detailed and fascinating biography of a tragic musical genius. I absolutely loved it and am so glad that this book exists. Highly recommended to fans of The Sound, but TBH, even if you just enjoy rock biographies in general I reckon this is well worth a read.
