"Julian Tepper has written an autobiographical slice of late 90s/early 00s rock n roll life reflecting a period both he and I lived thru (and, happily, survived) with such ease that I recognized this world immediately, intimately. Within chapters sequenced like the tracks on a vinyl LP two brothers work to get their band off the ground as well as trying to understand the fractured relationship with their shambling, estranged father. Kindred workers in song, as Leonard Cohen termed it, both father and sons are involved in the elusive game of chasing a hit recordor even a modicum of recognitionwhile also trying to see if there are any ties left holding them all together. This is a book about family, about rock n roll aspirations and about a few of the many avenues such lives might take."
Lee Ranaldo, Sonic Youth
