Based on a decade of research and reporting–in addition to get admission to to the Replacements’ key principals, Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson–writer Bob Mehr has fashioned something way more compelling than a conventional band bio. Trouble Boys is a deeply intimate portrait, revealing the primal factors and forces that shaped one of the vital brilliant and notoriously self-destructive rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time.

Beginning with riveting revelations concerning the Replacements’ troubled early years, Trouble Boys follows the group as they rise inside the early ’80s American underground. It uncovers the darker truths at the back of the band’s legendary drinking, showing how their addictions first came to define them, after which nearly destroyed them.

A roaring road adventure, a heartrending circle of relatives drama, and a cautionary showbiz tale, Trouble Boys has deservedly been hailed as an instant classic of rock lit.
