A little shameless promotion.
However in this case it isn’t self promotion, it’s band promotion! Here are some underground bands I’ve fallen in love with and feel that the world needs to know about. Is it book related? Well no…but I love me some good music! First off, let me introduce Sink to See. They are amazing! This song is called “2012” and it’s by far my current favorite. Give it a listen! And now….The Rescues! Love love love love (did I mention love?) them! This song is called “Stay Over” and I’m smitten. So smitten. Leave me a comment! What do you think?…
