Patty Schemel – Hit So Hard: A Memoir

Hit So Hard is a memoir of renewal and hope; a window onto the 90s Seattle grunge scene, and a testament to the enduring power of the music Patty helped create as drummer in Hole with C ourtney Love. With a brand new introduction by Audrey Golden to cast a new light on the book today, and published for the first time in the UK as part of White Rabbit’s Deep C uts series, Hit So Hard documents her life in the band, battle with addiction and descent into homelessness on the streets of LA; and her rewarding path to sobriety and happiness.

‘Though Hit So Hard is ultimately a deeply personal story, it’s also the story of one of the most successful bands of the ’90s: Hole…Schemel describes her years with the band with the same unflinching honesty and eye for telling detail that she brings to all parts of her life’ – LA Weekly

‘Not a book one should approach lightly or ‘just’ for the behind the scenes tales. If you want them, you’ll certainly get them, but they’re not why you should read…[Schemel’s] voice is an engaging one throughout, honest but not tendentious, often vivid in her sense of exact detail’ – The Quietus
