by Zach Taylor (Author)
Perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, and Almost Famous, this novel offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at two up-and-coming rock stars chasing fame, money, and something far more elusive than success.
A RAW, SOUL-SPLITTING NOVEL ABOUT GRIEF, AMBITION, AND THE BRUTAL COST OF BEING HEARD.
Lloyd Brannon, Aberdeen's legendary frontman, is dead. The industry mourns, but the machine keeps moving.
Kline Thomas sings grunge covers in Alabama dive bars, until one night he sings something else, and the world hears the echo of a dead man's voice.
Meanwhile, Rayne Harlow is broke, selling her body online to keep her all-girl punk band, The Painted Queens, alive. No labels. No deals. Just underground gigs for crowds who don't listen.
Watching from the shadows is Clara Cowley, a jaded music journalist haunted by secrets she knows connect them all. As she chronicles the collision between power and punk, legacy and survival, she begins to ask, "Am I just a witness . . . or part of the fire?"
Rockstar: Echoes isn't about glamour, groupies, or Grammys. It's about legacies. Some inherited. Some stolen. And some set on fire.
"Rockstar: Echoes isn't just about the splendid stage - it's about the fury, deceit, and ruthlessness behind it. Where every brutality has its own tragic backstory - and even stronger companionship."
- Fiza Abbas, Author & Poet
"Legacy, Grief, Taking Chances, & a Bristling Addition to the Music Genre, like DAISY JONES & THE SIX, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, & GIRLS IN THE MOON"
- Reedsy Discovery
"The prose is confident and borderline experimental, the formatting is genuinely innovative, and the music references make it a love letter of sorts to rock. The characters you will grow to love, even with their flaws. Overall, a very accomplished debut novel from Zach Taylor."
