I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol (2026)

Dive into an electrifying, behind-the-scenes journey of the Sex Pistols’ meteoric rise to worldwide notoriety, told with raw honesty and sharp insight. This compelling narrative captures a band of misfits hell-bent on smashing the music industry’s stale rules and society’s suffocating hypocrisy. Based on the novel by Glen Matlock—the founding member who co-wrote ten of the twelve legendary tracks on their sole studio album, *Never Mind the Bollocks*—this account pulls back the curtain on early 1970s Britain. Glen reveals a treasure trove of untold details: Steve’s thieving exploits, Wally Nightingale’s role, the frantic search for a frontman, the explosive punk scene, and the bleak, gritty backdrop that made McLaren’s vibrant shop feel like a lightning rod of rebellion. For the first time, the public hears the story not just from a band insider, but from a man whose contributions have been unfairly downplayed.
