Last Rockers: The Vice Squad Story has been republished by Tangent Books. The book is written by Shane Baldwin, drummer with the Bristol punk band who signed a major record deal after forming in 1979.

The second edition  includes interviews with fellow Vice Squad band members, including both vocalists, Beki and Lia, as well as John Peel, Garry Bushell, Shawn Stern, Charlie Harper, Alvin Gibbs and many more friends and associates.  It also chronicles the story of Bristol’s Heartbeat Records and Riot City Records, with contributions from label boss Simon Edwards.

For its sins, it also tells the sorry tale of the monster created as a Vice Squad by-product, the world’s foulest band, Chaotic Dischord.

Also features 16 pages of photos, many previously unpublished, a detailed Vice Squad gig list compiled by bassist Mark Hambly, a new foreword written by guitarist Dave Bateman (RIP) but not included in the original edition plus a complete discography
