London is burning with noise, scandal – and Generation Vex is about to light the match.
After a viral arrest turns a scrappy queer punk band into overnight icons, Elliot Vexley and his chaotic found family are standing on the edge of a cultural explosion. From high-stakes legal showdowns to late-night kebabs, million-pound settlements to political protest gigs, the band is learning fast that fame comes with a body count – and not everyone wants them to keep playing.
Rupert Vexley, punk aristocrat and unapologetic agent of chaos, is locked in a high-powered legal war with London’s banking elite. Elliot is building a revolutionary music hub for the neurodiverse and loud-mouthed misfits who raised him. Signus Lomax, teenage guitar prodigy, is finding unexpected kinship in a poolside summer that might just rewrite his future. And when Christian fundamentalists, moral crusaders, and opportunistic politicians decide to make Generation Vex their target, the band answers the only way they know how: by swearing louder.
Between courtroom victories, backstage brawls, and live TV ambushes, Generation Vex are no longer just a band – they’re a movement. And movements don’t back down.
Generation Vex: London Calling is the second riotous, heartfelt novel in Damian Jay Clay’s queer punk saga, blending biting humour, found family, neurodivergent brilliance, and political rebellion into one unforgettable ride. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper, This Is England, and anyone who’s ever turned the volume up just to be heard.
