Martin Popoff is releasing a new hardcover about
RUSH
titled The Unauthorized Illustrated History, which will be released on
May 15th by Voyageur Press.
A description reads:
Formed in Toronto, Ontario, in 1968 under the heavy influence of
British blues, Rush solidified its lineup in 1974 and has gone on to
record 18 studio albums (and counting). Notable for bassist/vocalist
Geddy Lee’s high register, Neil Peart’s virtuosic drumming and inventive
lyrics, and the guitar heroics of Alex Lifeson, the multiplatinum band
melds a diverse range of influences and along the way has amassed a
large, notably loyal following worldwide. Rush is bigger than ever
before with the hit 2011 documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage and this
year’s new album, Clockwork Angels, and tour.
Now, for the first time, Rush is treated to the epic visual
celebration they so richly deserve in a beautifully designed and
profusely illustrated history following the band’s entire career. A
chronological overview history written by noted music scribe and Rush
authority Martin Popoff spans the band’s entire career from 1968 to
today. A complete Rush discography chronicles all their albums, from the
debut album to 2112, Moving Pictures, and Signals to Grace Under
Pressure, Vapor Trails, and more. The authoritative text is complemented
by album reviews written by well-known music journalists from around
the globe, commentary from fellow musicians, a discography, tour dates,
and hundreds of photographs and pieces of memorabilia, including picture
sleeves, gig posters, rare vinyl, handbills, ticket stubs, and much
more.
