Review
'The book is punk poetry both at and by its finest' - Alternative Press 'Music is poetry. And artists from Something Corporate, Finch and more prove it in Revolution on Canvas, a cool new anthology of poems from your favorite indie rockers' - Teen People

Product Description
DESCRIPTION: The Beat Generation may have disbanded some 40 years ago, but its poetic spirit continues to pervade youth culture, speaking to millions. For decades, young adults have turned to poetry to find a voice for the raw emotion that characterizes adolescence. Now, REVOLUTION ON CANVAS sets out to reclaim and refresh poetry for today's youth in this collection that offers a little bit of everything for everyone. The writing, which ranges from the funny and absurd to heart wrenching, is an eclectic mix of poetry and prose authored by up-and-coming musicians who cover the spectrum of independent music. The bands behind this extraordinary collection, including A Static Lullaby, NOFX, The Format, and Finch, have collectively sold over a million records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why aren't there more than five stars?, April 13, 2006
This book was truly amazing. Raw emotion, beautiful words, full of opinion and truth. I haven't read anything this good since Peter Wentz's "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". I can't get over how good this book was. I definetely reccomend it if your a fan of any of the following bands: The Academy Is..., A Static Lullaby, Something Corporate, Circa Survive, and more. These artists are more than amazing, and they've put they're time into more than just singing. This book of poems is by far the greatest you may ever read. I can't wait for volume two, and you can bet that I'll review that too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Indie Rock, February 17, 2008
Just a tip. I flipped thorugh this in the book store asumming to see Indie-Rock, and i got Emo/Punk. If you are looking for something from Spoon, Okkervil River and the like, then do not pick this book up.

Where does the auther get the idea that NOFX and Static Lullaby are indie-rock? Hmm. =/
