They had the talent. The songs. The soul. But not the spotlight. Rock & Roll Underdogs dives deep into the stories of extraordinary bands and artists who lit up the edges of the music world-but never quite caught fire in the mainstream. With cultural context, personal reflection, and curated track lists, author Karl Sharicz brings to life the creative brilliance and stubborn spirit of these unsung heroes. From cult favorites and overlooked geniuses to the nearly famous and criminally ignored, this is a passionate tribute to the raw authenticity of rock & roll-and the artists who made the music matter, even if history forgot their names. "An informative read and an insight into why so many talented musicians never quite break through... My advice to struggling musicians: You're only beaten if you give up." -Leo Lyons, legendary bassist of Ten Years After & Hundred Seventy Split "We were driven by the joy of the music itself, not fame. Maybe that's exactly why we ended up as 'Underdogs'-and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way." -Jim McCarty, founding drummer of The Yardbirds & Renaissance "One thing's for sure-most had a hell of a time in the clubs, halls, and practice rooms reaching for that gold ring-or record deal." -Harry Sandler, original drummer for Orpheus "I never set out to be a rock star-just a working musician doing what I love... The music, the fans, and the fight to keep creating have always mattered more than the spotlight." -Jim Babjak, guitarist & songwriter for The Smithereens
