Ever been on vacation and wondered, "Where would my favourite indie band buy a slice or grab some vinyl in this city?" Well, German publisher Rockbuch is looking to answer such questions to help enhance your travels.
Indie Travel Guide is set to hit shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland this summer (North America will get it in the near future), informing indie rock hounds where to go when visiting certain cities. Best of all, however, is the book will feature live, acting indie rockers, penning their picks for the best way to keep yourself busy in their hometowns.
