great band...

not the prettiest of guys though


Oh shit!

I'm not going to listen to them now then.


Assembly isn't on it!?

NO! :(
I love that song, oh well, I'm sure the album will be great anyway.


Great Escape.

Everyone should come to see them with Born Ruffians at Great Escape! It's going to be funking amazing. The album's brilliant.
