Perry Boys Abroad : by Ian Hough
............The eclectic urban cocktail that saw firms of Manchester designer-thugs jet off to wreak havoc and deal in counterfeit merchandise abroad will amuse and fascinate in equal measure. The later developments of the Manchester music scene, including the Stone Roses and Oasis, all served to propel Manchester into the spotlight, and these bands were among the first to emulate the Perry look intentionally.
Perry Boys Abroad is a refreshingly different kind of “thug literature”. It relates how football casual gangs re-introduced LSD into Britain in the mid-80s, and how the rave era nurtured an underbelly of violence and hard drugs. Tales of gold smuggling from Manhattan, mayhem on Israeli Kibbutzim, amphetamine labs in the American West, grafting in Mexico, plus the counterfeit goods industry in Australia, form a jigsaw whose pieces have one thing in common; they are graduates of Britain’s ‘casual’ era, and they operate in a self-enforced exile.
Read Perry Boys Abroad and learn about the secret army that formed a world of its own.
