'...One of the most committed writers in Wales today.' - New Welsh Review John Evans is one of Wales' most uncompromising and original contemporary artists and writers. He started his career as a singer/songwriter signed to the Situation 2 arm of Beggars Banquet Records. For the last seven years has worked as a full-time writer and filmmaker and has become the leading figure in the New Wave of Welsh writing. His work has been described variously as post-punk, post-modern and even 'impossible to categorise'. Throughout - from his underground films, or his most recent books Industria and G.B.H. - he breaks the boundaries and conventions of traditional forms to combine words and images in an innovative style which is both fascinating and repellent. The interest and acclaim for Evans' work has spread throughout the U.K. and beyond. Best-selling author Iain Sinclair describes him as 'a hot and necessary item in an evidently grim landscape', while others see him as 'the authentic voice of the street - the death rattle of post-industrial Britain'. His work has also been compared to writers like Kathy Acker, William Burroughs, Henry Rollins and Irvine Welsh; and bands like Pere Ubu, Joy Division and the Manic Street Preachers.
