"Martin's new book, Quit Your Band: Musical Notes from the Japanese
Underground, is a must-read"―Tokyo Weekender "Readers with no or
just a passing knowledge of Japanese music will see inner workings
from someone who has experienced it from many different angles,
while those more familiar with it can wrangle with Martin's
criticism. Peppered throughout are entertaining anecdotes, many of
them breaking up the analysis with humour.... Quit Your Band is a
great intro to the nation's under and overground, but what ties it
all together is the same sense of attachment music fans anywhere
can relate to"―Time Out Tokyo Magazine "Even for non-music buffs,
Quit Your Band is rich with insight into Japanese media and the
entertainment industry"
―Metropolis Magazine "Quit Your Band! is a gateway, a gateway drug
even. It's also a love letter of sorts, but it speaks of that more
lucid love that develops only after years of intimate acquaintance,
that looks back affectionately on the early stages of infatuation
and mixed signals, and that is equally inspired and affectionately
exasperated by its object"―The Quietus
