I have not read Total Blast before but this issue, entitled “Thrashoholics in Suburbia,” is the story of a small time British punk band, The Thrashaholics. The comic tells of their forming and subsequent adventures. Anyone who has formed a band, argued over influences, tried to promote themselves, or knows what it is to look forward to playing a show that only turns out to be an awful disaster, should look into this comic. Author Mike G. tells a story that hits close to home for many in the DIY punk community. –Jon Mule (Mike G., [email protected])
