Review Quotes:
- "Equal parts comic, zine, and liner notes for a killer mix tape." - The Comics Journal
- "An exhilarating complement to the work of James Spooner and Osa Atoe, this captures the trials and triumphs of innovators operating in a subculture plagued by the same oppressive structures it rails against. Buchanan's infectious spirit will have readers ready to jump into the mosh pit." - Publishers Weekly
