ROCK and ROLE: The Visionary Songs of Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator

Peter Hammill / Van der Graaf Generator - Book - by Joe Banks

(2025)

Joe Banks' Rock and Role is the definitive biography of Peter Hammill (leader of Van der Graaf Generator, and one of the most unique solo artists in rock). Coming in at over 500 pages, and illustrated with hundreds of images - many rare and previously unseen - Rock and Role is both a highly accessible biography and a serious critical appreciation of one of rock's genuine visionaries, providing an in-depth look at PH's music and lyrics, investigating the ideas behind his songs, and presenting a portrait of Hammill as both artist and man.
