If you were on the cusp, or right smack dab in the middle of adolescence during the 1960s, playing in a rock & roll group was the coolest fad around. TeenBeat Mayhem! is a historical account paying tribute to this unheralded musical class from that decade, one comprised of American teenagers who forged their own brand of homegrown rock & roll. The book relates how this nationwide craze exploded following the Beatles nationally televised debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, how amateur and club-working groups were forced to update their sound to stay competitive, while young novices deftly practiced their craft to become energetic performing combos. You'll read accounts relating what it was like making a 45rpm record, and tales of summits and pitfalls which either fortified or broke a combo's collective spirit. It's a timeline account of the popular, regional and lesser-known groups who occupied different hierarchical levels, separated by age, life experience and musical ability, whirling around within a rapidly changing music scene.This entire era would have remained inconspicuous without the unbridled enthusiasm of a few record collectors and rock & roll fanatics. You'll learn how their pioneering efforts during the 1970s to champion awareness and appreciation for the multitudes of forgotten teenage groups flourished over time, ultimately leading to the categorization of a rock & roll sub-genre known worldwide as the sound of '60s garage. TeenBeat Mayhem! includes a meticulously detailed, 228 page 45rpm discography listing thousands of recording combos from A to Z, with monikers like the Rogues, Fugitives and Outcasts, to the more creative and unique: the Alarm Clocks, Zakary Thaks, and Dr. Spec's Optical Illusion; a song title index; reference sources; the Top 1000 "garage" songs depicted by color 45rpm record label scans, and other interesting features. Designed to mimic a high school yearbook of the period, TeenBeat Mayhem! is the first book of its kind geared toward record collectors, garage rock & roll fans, musicologists, neophytes and everyone curious to find out what really happened musically throughout America during the mid to late1960s.

Five Years Ahead of My Time: Garage Rock from the 1950s to the Present tells of a musical phenomenon whose continuing influence on global popular culture is immeasurable. The story begins in 1950s America, when classic rock ’n’ roll was reaching middle age, and teenaged musicians kept its primal rawness going with rough-hewn instrumentals, practicing guitar riffs in their parents’ garages. In the mid-1960s came the Beatles and the British Invasion, and soon every neighborhood had its own garage band. Groups like the Sonics and 13th Floor Elevators burnt brightly but briefly, only to be rediscovered by a new generation of connoisseurs in the 1970s. Numerous compilation albums followed, spearheaded by Lenny Kaye’s iconic Nuggets, which resulted in garage rock’s rebirth during the 1980s and ’90s. Be it the White Stripes or the Black Keys, bands have consistently found inspiration in the simplicity and energy of garage rock. It is a revitalizing force, looking back to the past to forge the future of rock ’n’ roll. And this, for the first time, is its story.
Bailey never meant to be the bad guy in the bulletproof robotic suit, but with every mission he gets closer to finding his father . . . and he can't stop now. Bailey is a pretty average sixteen-year-old in a pretty average town. He runs track, gets decent grades, and has an unrequited crush. So what is a super-powered flying suit of computerized armor doing twenty feet under his boring suburban home? Bailey needs to know where it came from, if it belonged to his long-missing father, and most importantly, if it can be used to bring his dad back. This lightning-fast adventure inspired by classic comic book tales pushes a good kid to his limits and questions the difference between a hero and a villain. One day he's getting beat up by the captain of the football team, the next day he's robbing banks on Fifth Avenue, stealing diamonds from Tiffany's, and zooming through aerial dogfights. But how much bad is Bailey willing to do to bring his dad home safely? For fans of Iron Man, superhero stories, and dark humor. An ILA-CBC Young Adults' Choice!

But in real life, when a shocking hate crime flips his world upside down, Adrian must decide what kind of person he wants to be.
