Punk rock and intellectuals are seemingly unrelated things, but the leader of “Cockroaches!” Dmitry SID Spirin masterfully proves the opposite. Behind the ironic title of the book lies not just the story of one group, but a cross-section of the life of informals of the 90s throughout Russia - both funny and bitter. And of course, this is a real gift for the fans! How did Sid get his nickname and where did the name of the group come from? Why did Spirin end up in St. Petersburg prison? What does “Cockroaches!” have in common? and "Spleen"? How did you record albums when no one had heard of record studios? And how the hell were these punks able to survive several crises, changes in lineups and sound, and not only continue to successfully perform on stage and release new albums, but also inspire other musicians to achieve achievements? All the answers are here, in this biting and honest manifesto of the rocker spirit , capturing the attention of readers from the first pages. This is confirmed by the third edition of this cult autobiography! As a bonus, the new version of the book includes additional materials: the band’s first foreign interview and an interview with Yuri Dud, a story about the opening act of “Technology” and “Bloodhound gang”, as well as unique archival photos and concert posters. The book contains obscene language.
