Wildfire tells the story of the first decade of The Prodigy from the perspective of original
member Leeroy Thornhill, fully illustrated with entirely unseen photography from the
earliest raves, to Japan and the United States in the late ’90s, by which point the band
were one of the biggest on the planet.
Rave pioneers whose sound also encompassed hip hop, punk and rock, The Prodigy
arguably had as much influence on contemporary pop culture as the Sex Pistols and these
extraordinary images from Leeroy’s personal archives capture the wild energy, ecstasy
and abandon from the moment they dropped their first hit ‘Charly’ through the three
albums which became the ubiquitous soundtrack to the decade: Experience, Music for the
Jilted Generation and Fat of the Land.
Beautifully designed in five colours with archival ephemera, and contextualised by Leeroy
himself with candid and often hilarious stories describing the band’s wild adventures and
eccentric encounters as their fame and popularity spread ‘like wildfire’, this is the ultimate
visual journey into the world of the original ‘electronic punks’.
