Contents under Pressure: 30 Years of Rush at Home and Away FROM THE PUBLISHER
Celebrating Rush's 30th anniversary, this retrospective of Canada's most successful music group examines each of the band's approximately 20 lauded records and sold-out tours, eliciting fresh insights into the marriage of Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee's classic, fearless art rock sound with Neil Peart's celebrated literary prowess. The product of extensive interviews with all three members and corroborating evidence from key insiders and press, this unprecedented examination features previously unpublished candid photographs by official band photographer Andrew MacNaughtan. Musings on playing live and the grind of touring are presented, revealing the trio's evolution over the past three decades. A critical eye is focused on the band's vast catalog, resulting in a comprehensive, forward-moving celebration of one of the most respected yet secretive bands in the music business--one that has never been revealed in book form so personally, directly, or so willingly.
FROM THE CRITICS
Toronto Sun
Contents Under Pressure is not for Rush dilettantes. It's for the devoted, the fans who know every song, every shriek from Lee, every guitar burst from Lifeson, every drum fill from Peart.... Spectacularly illustrated...

...A wealth of information and amusing first-account stories, even for those who think they know everything about the group.

Loaded with 270 photos (many of them rare) from the stage, studio and virtually everywhere in between, Contents is a refreshingly positive take on the life of a rock 'n' roll band.... Contents is fascinating, funny and spotless in execution.
