"Songs are little dangerous bombs of truth" - Nick Cave

Oh yes, it's everyone's favourite gothic Godfather.

Unsurprisingly we're all a bunch of Nick Cave nuts here at Rough Trade so we thought we should share the love with all you wonderful people.

We've discounted some of his greatest work, for a limited time only, to celebrate the release of his jaw-dropping new book <a href="https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/nick-cave-and-sean-o-hagan/faith-hope-carnage">Faith, Hope and Carnage</a>.

And after hours of heated debate we have, somehow, decided which are his best albums. Find out where your favourite finished <a href="https://blog.roughtrade.com/gb/ranked-nick-caves-greatest-albums/">here</a>.

Discover... Nick Cave

The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave's journey with his band the Bad Seeds on a twenty-two-day, North American tour. It is a highly personal account that blends memories, musings, poetry, lyrics, flights of fancy and road journal. Drawing inspiration from Leonard Cohen, John Berryman, Patti Smith, Sharon Olds, folk ballads and ancient texts, The Sick Bag Song takes the form of an epic quest, turning over questions of inspiration, creativity, loss, death and romantic love. It is also a companion piece to his feature documentary 20,000 Days on Earth. The Sick Bag Song explores and develops the mystique of Nick Cave. The book began its life scribbled onto airline sick bags, which are reproduced in the book alongside the text.
