‘Armstrong’s passion for the subculture is infectious, even to the uninitiated. Beyond the glow sticks and the beats lies the compelling and universal question of what it means to be fully alive’ The Guardian on #Raveheart Nice wan! 🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🕶️ www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Finished Raveheart. Absolute belter of a book. Well done @graemearmstrong.bsky.social

Really looking forward to chatting #Raveheart at Foyles with dapper gent Lucas Oakeley … whose brilliant ‘Books for Boys’ series addresses the problem of literature often not reaching our young men! Let’s change that! 🤝 www.foyles.co.uk/events/raveh... #LucasOakeley #GraemeArmstrong #Foyles

Review: Graeme Armstrong plugs into some of the drug-fuelled energy of Trainspotting and its kinetic Edinburgh dialogue – or in this case its patter-heavy West Coast cousin with his new novel @heraldscotland.bsky.social @graemearmstrong.bsky.social @4thestatebooks.bsky.social

And special mention to @graemearmstrong.bsky.social and his new book Raveheart. Goosebumps reading this which I find is rare. Particularly special though is seeing your name and old tunes in there which feels like a lifetime ago. Which is sad that it's over, but special in that it happened.

Productive end to the week. Long overdue catch up with @crmnlgy.bsky.social and @robbiejourno.bsky.social this morning for a wee scran and coffee. Then got a new article in for submission after weeks of effin about with it. Few smokies and some reading now before an early night. Slàinte mhath!

RAVEHEART is a high NRG, whip-smart look at the state of modern Britain through the eyes of a disparate band of rave rebels, from the author of the acclaimed, bestselling debut THE YOUNG TEAM, @graemearmstrong.bsky.social. Now available in hardback from @4thestatebooks.bsky.social! 📚🎶👽
