The 336-page book titled 'The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect: The Last Indie Music Scene 2000-2010' will be published by Omnibus Press on October 23. Alex Kapranos, lead singer of the group Franz Ferdinand, wrote the foreword to the book.

Janine Warren, who has worked in music public relations for over twenty years, founded Notorious PR, worked within Coalition PR and The Beggars Group, and worked with bands such as The Libertines and Franz Ferdinand.
