True Story, a book about his personal relationship with the band and the grunge scene. In the early 1990s, True lived in Brighton, East Sussex, with members of the band Huggy Bear. Leaving MM in the late 1990s, he became editor of Vox, reverting on this occasion to his real name. It has been claimed that the band theaudience were formed after founder member Billy Reeves bet True £100 that he could form a band and get it signed. In 1998, True returned to Seattle, where he worked for a year as music editor for The Stranger, before heading for Australia, where he freelanced at Melbourne broadsheet, The Age. He also recorded an album under the name The Legend!. Back again in the United Kingdom, he set up the magazine Careless Talk Costs Lives in 2002. Issues of this publication began at No. 12 and counted down, claiming that "we have set out to replace the decaying music press in Britain, so by issue zero we will either have achieved our objectives or given up trying". By the twelfth issue (#1), it was clear that it would not achieve its ambitions, and True instead founded Plan B. Between 2004 and 2009, True helped oversee Plan B alongside others, notably Frances Morgan, Chris Houghton and designer Andrew Clare. He has also contributed to many magazines and newspapers, and has written many books, including ones on the Ramones, The White Stripes, as well as an account of his time with Nirvana. In 2008, he relocated with his family to Brisbane in Australia, apparently on a whim: "It was a nice day when we stepped off the plane," he told several interviewers. Up until the start of 2009, he wrote a weekly column for VillageVoice.com, and The Guardian – with the latter, entering into conflict with Australia's music street press. There was also a fair amount of controversy over some unguarded remarks True made on Twitter with regard to the usage of Kurt Cobain's image in Guitar Hero 5. These led to immediate furious denials from Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic. Later, Courtney Love denied she had that they had anything to do with the matter, but it was then revealed that Love had worked with Activision on crafting Cobain's look for the game. The family subsequently returned to the United Kingdom. True currently contributes columns to Sweden's Go Magazine, New York City's
