Sixteen Again combines biography, interview, critique and social history to fully explain Buzzcocks' unique and enduring appeal. It examines why Pete Shelley's influence was as central to Manchester's renaissance as it was to Manchester music. The book also explores the unique relationship between a young fan and his favourite group during their most successful phase – and why that intense interdependence can never last forever.
Meld a Buzzcocks biography with social history of the musical and artistic growth of Manchester brought about by punk and you get this hugely readable and bitingly humorous tome. - Record Collector
Excellent oral history of Manchester's premier punk band. A teenage Buzzcocks fan, Hanley takes the story through to the late-80s reunions and beyond with interviews from all the major players and a sharp eye for punk historiography: his evaluation of sources is excellent, necessary in such a myth-encrusted topic. - Jon Savage, Mojo
The beauty of Sixteen Again is the way it renders an adult view of Pete Shelley's genius with teenage enthusiasm. The biographical details of Shelley's life are present; so is the purity of Hanley's passion. A Book of the Year. - Uncut
