[Albertine's] book is both a bold chronicle of her personal ups and downs and a historical document that blows holes in the established punk narrative in which men are the major players and women merely window dressing., This honest, defiant book from the Slits' guitarist is a lesson in how to look back from middle age...no self-aggrandisement, but occasionally a quiet, defiant pride in her achievements. The list of which, I am delighted to note from her latest music, continues to grow., "Viv from the get-go was fabulous, exciting, cool and inarguably integral to the history of punk. Her book, an eyewitness account of love, chaos and reflection, is a gender slashing, guitar smashing report from the radical front."-Thurston Moore"I saw Viv Albertine of The Slits…How do I feel? Lucky….I realized I hadn't really witnessed fearlessness in a long time, at least not at a rock show. As one of my friends put it, more succinctly: 'This was one of the punkest things I have ever seen.'" -Carrie Brownstein ( Portlandia ) reviewing Viv Albertine show in Brooklyn for NPR Music in 2009"Unflinching, candid, revelatory: the perils of being a pioneer."-Jon Savage, award-winning author of England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond "I've always loved Viv Albertine and I love her even more now I've read this affecting, oddly beautiful memoir."-India Knight, author of My Life on a Plate, Viv Albertine was a member of all-female punk band The Slits. That's a fascinating stroy in itself, but her upbringing and, more importantly, her frank and visceral style make this a really gripping read.

Hearing the story from a woman's point of view makes for very interesting reading… The pace is sharp and punchy, just like punk lyrics… Rarely can a book be so personal yet still resonate with a whole movement-and beyond."- Stylist Magazine (UK) "Albertine''s music has never offered easy answers or comfortable conclusions. This brave, funny, honest autobiography doesn''t either, and is all the more admirable for it"- The Mail on Sunday (UK) "[Albertine''s] book is both a bold chronicle of her personal ups and downs and a historical document that blows holes in the established punk narrative in which men are the major players and women merely window dressing."- The Independent (UK) "A fresh, insider''s take on punk."- Evening Standard (UK) "A frank and fearless account of sex, drugs and life on the cultural frontline."- Esquire Weekly "''With a title that is an incantation and a picture of the gorgeous author on its cover, Viv Albertine''s autobiography is quite something.

I haven't seen anything that captures the different sides of punks so well... there is an enormous tenderness to Albertine's memoir... Clothes is as great as the music was and deserves a place on the shelf beside London Calling ., The best rock memoir by some distance of 2014 wasn't written by a big name such as John Lydon or Bernard Sumner but by Viv Albertine., A brutally honest book about the blood, guts, sweat and tears that went into becoming a woman in the Seventies.

She knows her way around a sentence and exudes confidence. Like singer Marianne Faithfull's revelatory autobiography Faithfull which detailed her life as a '60s 'It' girl, Rolling Stones muse, junkie and chanteuse, Albertine throughout the decades questions assumptions of femininity, propriety and creativity., "The Slits guitarist chronicles what it was like to live through punk's first wave."-"57 Books to Read This Fall," Fall Preview Feature, New York Magazine "[A] bold, empowering work."- Publishers Weekly "Viv from the get-go was fabulous, exciting, cool and inarguably integral to the history of punk.

Synopsis
A feminist musician icon, Viv Albertine reveals the rocking, uncompromising story of her life on the front lines at the birth of the British punk movement and beyond in this exciting, humorous, and inspiring memoir. Selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years Viv Albertine is a pioneer. As lead guitarist and songwriter for the seminal band The Slits, she influenced a future generation of artists including Kurt Cobain and Carrie Brownstein. She formed a band with Sid Vicious and was there the night he met Nancy Spungeon. She tempted Johnny Thunders...toured America with the Clash...dated Mick Jones...and inspired the classic Clash anthem "Train in Vain." But Albertine was no mere muse. In Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. , Albertine delivers a unique and unfiltered look at a traditionally male-dominated scene. Her story is so much more than a music memoir. Albertine's narrative is nothing less than a fierce correspondence from a life on the fringes of culture. The author recalls rebelling from conformity and patriarchal society ever since her days as an adolescent girl in the same London suburb of Muswell Hill where the Kinks formed. With brash honesty--and an unforgiving memory--Albertine writes of immersing herself into punk culture among the likes of the Sex Pistols and the Buzzcocks. Of her devastation when the Slits broke up and her reinvention as a director and screenwriter. Or abortion, marriage, motherhood, and surviving cancer. Navigating infidelity and negotiating divorce. And launching her comeback as a solo artist with her debut album, The Vermilion Border . Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. is a raw chronicle of music, fashion, love, sex, feminism, and more that connects the early days of punk to the Riot Grrl movement and beyond. But even more profoundly, Viv Albertine's remarkable memoir is the story of an empowered woman staying true to herself and making it on her own in the modern world.
