Reviews of the new album:
"Do yourself a favour and introduce yourselves to A Textbook Tragedy before Hot Topic embarks on their search for a watered-down equivalent."
- www.threeohsix.org

"a well-planned piece of musical art that displays something extremely rare and beautiful in todays bland world of "flavour of the week" bands."
- www.bedlamsociety.com

"Avant-garde screamo and technical hardcore combine for a dazzling debut release by this imaginative Canadian band."
- www.decoymusic.com

"A very promising, mathy and jazzy DIY debut from some Canadian metalhead kids, and my favorite self-released effort of the year"
- www.punknews.org

A Textbook Tragedy consists of four young stallions who like to play hard and tour lots. in the last 8 months, the band has been through western canada 3 times, the western u.s once, and completed a month and a half canada wide tour. The debut full length has sold over 1000 copies in canada alone, and several hundred between the U.S and overseas. They are currently writing new material in between tours
