About Matteo Sedazzari

Matteo Sedazzari developed the zest for writing when he produced a fanzine entitled Positive Energy of Madness during the height of Acid House, in 1989.

Positive Energy of Madness dissolved as a fanzine in 1994 and resurfaced as an ezine in 2003, which became ZANI, the ezine for counter and pop culture in 2009, promoting online optimism, along with articles, reviews, and interviews with the likes of crime author Martina Cole, former pop star and actor Luke Goss, soul legend Bobby Womack, Clem Burke of Blondie, Chas Smash of Madness, Shaun Ryder of Black Grape/ Happy Mondays and many more.

After producing and writing for his own publication, Matteo’s next step was to pen a novel, A Crafty Cigarette – Tales of a Teenage Mod. Matteo is influenced by Hunter S Thompson, Harlan Ellison, Kenneth Grahame, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Irvine Welsh, DH Lawrence, Alan Sillitoe, Frank Norman, Joyce Carol Oates, Mario Puzo, Iceberg Slim, Patricia Highsmith, Joe R. Lansdale, Daphne du Maurier, Robert Bloch, George Orwell, Harry Grey and many more. American comics like Batman, Superman and Spiderman, along with Herge’s Tintin, also provide Matteo with inspiration.

Matteo also finds stimulus from many films like Twelve Angry Men, A Kind of Loving, Blackboard Jungle, Z, Babylon, This Sporting Life, Kes, Midnight Cowboy, Scum, Wild Tales, The Boys, Midnight Express, La Commare Secca, Dr Terror’s House of Horrors, so on and so forth. As for music, anything that is passionate, vibrant and with heart is always on Matteo’s playlist.

Matteo Sedazzari resides in Surrey, in which he explores fanatically on his mountain bike. Matteo supports Juventus, travels to Italy and Spain, eats and dress well, as he enjoys life in the process.

Tales of Aggro 17 Jan, 2019

by Matteo Sedazzari

( 28 )

₹ 251.00

'A vivid and enjoyable slice of London life in the 80s, with a wealth of detail and characters,' - Drummer Steve White (The Style Council, Paul Weller, Trio Valore,)

‘A real slice of life told in the vernacular of the streets’- Irvine Welsh

‘It’s A Treat to Read, Just Like A Crafty Cigarette’ - John Cooper Clarke

‘Tales of Aggro highlights Sedazzari’s knack for creating and building such stimulating characters, but more so his ability in how he has them interact and bounce off each other that just seems to draw you in every time’. - Louder Than War

‘Tales of Aggro has got the feel of ‘Green Street’ and a touch of ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. This is fiction for realists.’ - Vive Le Rock

‘Enjoyed Matteo Sedazzari’s previous book Crafty Cigarette and this continues a similar narrative. Excellent 10-10’ - Danny Rampling (DJ – Founder of the Legendary Shoom)

‘Tales of Aggro is lively and funny’ - Phil Davis (British Actor - Quadrophenia, Silk, The Firm)

‘A captivating fictional novel that works real characters from the real world, into fictional events that never really took place, yet in Tales of Aggro are surrounded with an aura of pseudo-authenticity.’ - Scootering Magazine

‘Tales of Aggro is a kind of time machine that takes one back to the days of ‘Scrubbers’, ‘Scum’ and ‘Get Carter’. Very redolent of those atmospherics.’ - Jonathan Holloway (Theatre Director and Playwright)

'Laugh out loud funny, exciting and above all, written with real warmth and passion for London and the Character’s making their way through this tale and life itself.' – Gents of London

Meet Oscar De Paul, Eddie the Casual, Dino, Quicksilver, Jamie Joe and Honest Ron, collectively known around the streets of West London as The Magnificent Six. This gang of working-class lovable rogues have claimed Shepherds Bush and White City as their playground and are not going to let anyone spoil the fun.

Fashion conscious, music obsessed and shooting from the lip, these lads are legends in their minds and eager to stamp their identities on the often-indifferent streets. Meet Rockin’ Wilf, uncle to Eddie, Teddy Boy, natural born thief and victim of 1970’s police corruption. Meet Stephanie, a wannabe pop star who is determined to knock spots off the Spice Girls, with her girl group. Above all though, meet West London and hear the stories of ordinary people getting up to extraordinary adventures.

Please note that Tales of Aggro is a work of fiction. The events and key characters are conjured up by the author, and not based on real incidents or people. As stated in the disclaimer in the kindle and paperback edition of the book.
