Praise for The Triangle

“J. Buck Williams must have been at every band practice I ever attended because he’s got it all down; the musician pecking order, the decrepit rehearsal space, and the constant bickering. If you want to know what it is really like to be in a rock and roll band, read The Triangle. Williams saves you the trouble of having to learn an instrument or changing your entire wardrobe to all black.“

—Patrick O’Neil author of Gun, Needle, Spoon, and former road manager for Dead Kennedys, Flipper, and Subhumans

“The Triangle has everything you wish your band had—chops, fans and an attitude to go with it. They do what you always wanted to do (except for the being wanted by the FBI part).”

—Scott Colburn, producer, Sun City Girls, Arcade Fire,and Animal Collective

“If J. Buck Williams writes songs like he writes books, then his inclusion in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame is a foregone conclusion. The Triangle is a riff-heavy, rockin’ good time.”

—Chris Walter, SNFU: What No One Else Wanted to Say
