Review Quotes:
"Edited by Michael Veal and E. Tammy Kim, the book [Punk Ethnography] is a thoroughly engaging survey and analysis of the label's legacy and its future. It is also a very timely read, given the current climate of isolationism, racism, and anti-intellectualism here in the U.S. and many other parts of the world."--Chris Becker, Chris Becker

"The Sublime Frequencies indie label curates albums of music from the Middle East, Asia and Africa--often culled from flea market cassettes and taped radio broadcasts--that transcend the stuffiness of academic ethnomusicology and the calculations of corporate world music. Its aesthetic is steeped in the pointed irony and rule-breaking spirit of punk rock."--David Luhrssen, Shepherd Express
