More than music

Punk was always supposed to be more than just music, and in Compression, the debut novel from veteran Mass Movement editor Tim Cundle, it acts as the foundation that the author uses to build his neo-noir thriller around and upon.

Buzz Magazine said that Compression was “laced with dark humour as well as brutal trauma”, while Thoughts Words Action excitedly claimed that “it will hold your attention from start to finish”, which isn’t too bad for a first book from a jaded, cynical old writer.
