FAN REVIEWS:
I found this to honestly be one of the best books that I have ever read. This is a must-have for any Project 86 fan, or even any Tooth and Nail Record supporter. Andrew shares some of his deepest feelings as well as some of his most inspiring and touching stories he has to offer. You will find yourself unable to put the book down and find yourself wanting to share with Andrew how you feel for him and how much you appriciate what he does. Being a Project 86 fan, reading this made me love the band even that much more. You will most definitely not be disappointed with this one.-JOHN T. (MASON, OH)

Once again, Andrew Schwab, lead singer of awesome band Project 86, proves that he is an amazing writer! This has it all: funny tour stories, insightful commentary, and the gerenal neurotic state of mind that permeates Schwab and his band. If you like this, make sure to check out his other two books: We Caught You Plotting Murder and Do Not Disturb. You can only find them at his online store.

'Do Not Disturb'
A surprisingly comical collection of short stories, anecdotes, humorously dark word games, and poetry which will delight and shock. Pulling no punches, Schwab delves into the the grim ironies of failed relationships, the dying music industry, Christian culture, and bouts with the law.
'We Caught You Plotting Murder'
The first, the original, with thousands upon thousands of copies in the hands of unsuspecting victims. This elaborate, stream-of-consiousness collection of writings attacks the pervading philosophies of the inhuman suburban 9 to 5 culture.
