    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.
