The Fall & Rise of the Ejected by Jim BrooksMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The story of punk & oi! band The Ejected written by lead singer Jim Brooks is not in this 4th Edition "totally up to date story of the band" being brought up to 2017 with the story of 2017 record Game Of Survival! (Randale Records, 2017). That is the meat of this telling; initial formation and recent reunion shows and albums over the last few years. Act I has details on the first couple of albums and a fair amount of detail on recording with UK Subs guitarist Nicky Garratt. With amplifying a bit more detail, improving punctuation and fleshing out the pre-LP years and adding a middle act - like the asides about the reggae years - before The Rise, this could be a decent small book about this important London punk & oi! band.
