NO REMORSE True Stories of Lemmy Kilmister and Motörhead

Fight for your right to celebrate 40 years of Beastie Boys’ groundbreaking debut album—Licensed to Ill—through vivid photography, track-by-track analysis, and new interviews.

When Licensed to Ill hit the Billboard charts in 1986, it didn’t just make history—it rewrote it. The Beastie Boys’ mix of punk energy, streetwise humor, and Rick Rubin’s hard-hitting production propelled the album to become the first rap LP to top the Billboard 200 and one of the fastest-selling debuts in history. Beastie Boys: Licensed to Ill - 40 Years invites you into the creative chaos that produced classics like “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” “Girls,” and “Brass Monkey.”

From her late-80s beginnings, capturing our hearts as Charlene in Neighbours and singing 'I Should Be So Lucky' in a bubble bath, to her gold-plated hits like 'Spinning Around' and 'Padam Padam' soundtracking the euphoria of dancefloors the world over, there is only one Kylie Minogue.


She has sold over eighty-million records internationally, is the best-selling Australian pop star of all time and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, fashion and photography across her various shape-shifting eras. She is, undoubtedly, a modern-day icon. But who is the 'real' Kylie? And how has she remained a mystery while also navigating a forty-year career in the fickle world of pop?

The Cure's story is a fantastical pop fable, but their trajectory has not been one of unbroken success. Along the way, their uneven, uneasy pop odyssey has taken in fierce intra-band tensions and fall-outs, numerous line-up changes and even a bitter court case that saw original group members feuding over payments and ownership of the band's name.

There has been alcoholism, substance abuse and countless long, dark nights of the soul, many of which have been translated into luscious dark-rock symphonies.

From gawky teenage art-punks in Crawley to gnomic, venerable rock royalty with 30 million record sales to their name, their journey has been a scarcely believable, vivid pop hallucination. A Perfect Dream is the tall tale of a truly unique British band. It's the story of The Cure.
