Encouraged to write as a form of therapy following the death of his youngest son in Afghanistan, Criminal Damage and Other Brilliant Misadventures is a collection of Chris Green's web pieces about his involvement with punk, running an indie label in the eighties and his lifetime within the madly spinning globe of modern music culture past, present and future. More a scrapbook of memories, opinion and reviews than an autobiography, the experiences, songs and albums he talks about left an indelible imprint, shaping and scarring him in ways he never believed possible.
