      This is a biography of musician Nick Cave, from his early days with "The Birthday Party". Charting his career, it explores Cave's idiosyncratic, obsessive lyrical visions, which make no concession to prevailing musical fads. Insights into his turbulent personal life are also given.

      A widely acclaimed biography of one of rock''s most compelling, uncompromising and influential singer-songwriters, Ian Johnston''s BAD SEED offers a superb overview of Nick Cave''s career to date.

      Through Cave''s fronting of the incendiary bands The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds, producing music of unfettered expression and explosive intensity, to his creative collaborations outside of the rock industry in film and literature, BAD SEED illustrates a life lived in barely controlled chaos: and unravels the motivation and unique appeal of a reluctant icon whose songs, according to the Rolling Stones, possess "the authority of the most primal kind of myth."
