Formed in 1985 and led by Neil Finn, formerly of the New Zealand art-rockers Split Enz, Crowded House has achieved iconic status with some of the most recognisable hits of all time. This book will guide you through the band's every release, from their 1986 eponymous debut album to their latest record, Gravity Stairs, released in 2024. Along the way we will examine the band's rise to success in their first incarnation, their split in 1996, their reforming in 2007, and the two further line-ups that have carried them through to today. The band's latest incarnation includes another generation of Finns, Neil's sons Liam and Elroy, with Nick Seymour being the only other constant over the years. Featuring every song ever recorded by the band, as well the many solo hits and collaborations recorded by Neil Finn as a solo artist, Crowded House: Song by Song is your essential guide to one of the southern hemisphere's most successful groups of all time.
