jacksonh8 This is the best band I’ve heard in a long time!! These guys are toe to toe with some of the greats!!! I know for a fact that if and when the right people hear these guys they will absolutely blow up!! So tell as many people you know about them and have them pass it on to everyone they know I want to see this band get where they deserve!!! Favorite track: Kill Screen.
