Make Your Own Maps have forged a unique style of chaotic verse heavily laden with populist undertones. Highlighting the grotesque, ritual aspects of human nature and human experience in staggered bursts of honesty and censure, Maps chastise all. They illustrate why in occasionally vulgar imagery, but always take responsibility for any complicity. Lyrically provocative and ardently subversive, Maps are as close to a contemporary example of Ishmael Reed's Jes Grew I've seen yet.
Underscored by erratic movement, they trust and encourage one another to be consumed by moments of purity they've created and brashly present. Their newest song, "Son of a Priest," is possibly their most scathing, accosting your ears with the piercing reality of what blind tenacity brings, shaming the subject and the listener. - San Antonio Current
