About Me

bandalism (noun) wilful, malicious or downright stupid destruction of, or damage to, the fabric of a rock/pop/indie group brought about by one or more of its members.
It doesn't have to be like this: Based on real band stories and some basic common sense, Bandalism contains all the secrets and strategies essential for forming the perfect band and surviving - and how to salvage it when it all goes tragically wrong.
