Infos

R.E.M. were one of the biggest, and most important, bands of the last forty years, redefining the sound of the nineties and noughties. With full cooperation from the band Tony Fletcher has pulled back the curtain on one of the last mythical rock groups in this classic musical biography.

---

Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980, R.E.M. released their first single, Radio Free Europe, in 1981. By the time the band broke up they had recorded fifteen studio albums, 63 singles, sold more than 85 million records, signed the biggest recording contract in music history, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
