This book is spectacular. It contains lots of poetry, prose, and art from the contemporary indie/punk/hardcore/emo scene. Much of the poetry is so original and moving. I personally loved it and constantly find myself flipping through it. Some bands that have contributed works include Silverstein, Taking Back Sunday, The Bled, Boys Night Out, From Autumn to Ashes, This Day Forward, Planes Mistaken For Stars, The Starting Line, Fear Before The March of Flames, and many more. For a good handle on modern poetry, or if you like any of these bands pick up this book. You wont regret it. Plus, its pink! You can walk around showing off to all your hipster friends! Two scene points for you!

Yes that's right this book took some of the greatest indie rock songs and stripped them down to nothing, but words. It made the book and the songs that much more meaningful because you really got a feel for the talents of the bands who were put in this book. I have read this book over 20 times and i still don't get sick of it. Now when i hear the songs, i feel more connected to them for knowing them with and with out the music that was put to them. This is such a great book to read.

This book is absolutely amazing. The poetry is insightful, and the bands deserve so much credit for their extreme talent. I find that it makes great presents, if that counts. You can't readd this book without finding something to make you laugh or cry. Completely moving. Props to anyone who picks it up and reads it, you wouldn't regret it.
