Henry Rollins has announced a new memoir about his challenging childhood and early life, to be titled Bait Dog Boy.
The book will focus on the former Black Flag frontman’s difficult upbringing in Washington, D.C., a time in which he moved between his parents and came into contact with abusive and unreliable adults.
It will go on to cover his meeting with Ian MacKaye, who would go on to front Minor Threat, and how their mutual discovery of punk changed their lives and gave them a way out.
Bait Dog Boy will be published on March 2 next year via Random House in the US and Little, Brown in the UK. Fans can pre-order their copy here.
Rollins has self-published a number of memoirs in the past, beginning with 1994’s Get In The Van: On The Road With Black Flag, which went on to win a Grammy for its spoken-word version.
The musician first fronted the D.C. hardcore band State Of Alert before joining Black Flag in 1981. When they split in 1986, he founded his own label and publishing company and formed the Rollins Band.
Earlier this year, Rollins and MacKaye unearthed the previously unreleased 1977 album ‘Gravest Gravy’ by The Cramps. Produced by Alex Chilton, the re-release will be out on August 21.
