Description: "In Amp'd, Gary Fincke chronicles four years in the life of his son - rock and roll guitarist Aaron - from winning MTV's Ultimate Cover Band Prize, to being signed as part of Lifer, to joining the band Breaking Benjamin." "Set against the backdrop of Strangers With Candy's, Lifer's, and Breaking Benjamin's world of aggressive rock, frenzied fans, moshing, stage diving, crowd surfing, security brutality, and occasional outright violence; Amp'd is both a page-turning, first-hand account of a lifestyle that is often fantasized about, as well as a literary narrative that examines the larger issues of celebrity, success, and family."--BOOK JACKET.
