You made me feel old. I know none of these bands.
That’s the point, Mons! Listen to some and see if you find your new favorite band.
Remember when we used to complain that there wasn’t much new music out there? Those were sure the days.
AWESOME mix Jake, these songs are great.
thanks for exposing me!
