Dead Harts – Born Into Rags To Die No Richer – Album Review

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Sheffield mob Dead Harts released their debut album for just £2 over at Band Camp and it’s well worth the money. That is, if you love being violently earfucked by your music.

Pyrrhon – An Excellent Servant But A Terrible Master – Album Review

Wednesday, December 21, 2011
