Griff swings a wild, noisy trumpet with his punk band, Garbage Truck all over the wild streets of Hollywood. But his life suddenly becomes complicated when he finds himself dodging gay bashing skinheads, a homeless jazzman gone insane, a devious band that wants to twist his music away from him and the dead, bloody corpse of a nightclub bouncer he finds behind a Sunset Boulevard dumpster. “Every Good Boy Dies First” is a punk rock noir novel based in the alternative-fueled Nineties scene and collides hardcore crime with feedback guitars. What starts out as a young man’s daydream of fronting a punk band quickly degenerates into a nightmare. Andy Seven’s novel “Every Good Boy Dies First” is written in a stark, rapid style, just like a white-knuckled hardcore punk record.
