Didn't like that as much as Infected and Soul Mining.

Snuff.

Saw them at King Tut's many moons ago - have to admire a band that greet's a Glasgow crowd with "Good evening you Scottish b@st@rds" and get's away with it!
I'm sure they asked the crowd for requests at the end - and pulled somebody from the crowd to sing "think were alone now, by Tiffany"......memories a bit vague now!!!!!!!!

 

[cyberknight]

Propaganda

Anyone i ask has never heard of them even though i thought they were great , although the videos were a bit weird
