Ross Raymond and Johnny McLaughlin are two fanboys dedicated to the Airdrie post-punk scene of the early 80s the glory years when anything and everything seemed possible. Looking back on that time the people, the bands, the underground legends they piece together a story which has at its core Memorial Device, the greatest band youve never heard of. Featuring a cast of misfits, artists, drop-outs, small-town visionaries and musicians, This Is Memorial Device is a dark, witty novel depicting a moment where art and the demands it makes are as serious as life itself.
