Praise
“Barred for Life is a book with heart. It also avoids the
trap that similar single-subject photo books fall into. There’s actually
a narrative arc, thanks to a series of interviews with former band
members interspersed throughout, telling the story of the band and its
fans.”
—BlackBook
“Most band tattoos look like complete shit. But Black Flag transcends
this rule because even the shoddiest stick ‘n’ poke versions of the
punk band’s logo, four rectangular bars, somehow always look great.
Having a crooked and faded set of the bars myself, this compilation
reminds me of how meeting others who’ve defaced themselves similarly
often means meeting your new best friend or future wife.”
—VICE Magazine
“While the book is packed with insightful interviews and tales from
inked fans and band members, it’s Castaldi and Ebersole’s beautiful
black and white photos that are most impressive, and leap kicking and
screaming from the pages.”
—Bizarre Magazine
