    Big Business is a mind blowing band. I think this band from Minneapolis called The Future, might just be from The Future. These Arms Are Snakes will rock your ear balls.

  • I'm really impressed with this local band, they're called Ill Scarlet. They have a Sublime feel to thier music and this one tune, I think it's called, Police State--man, it kicks!

  • KENT (band) Isola (Album) = Wow!

    "isola" was a great record. they never really seemed to recapture that magic on other releases imo, but that one was sweet.
