“We’re Dangerous” by Animals In Denial Feels Like a Basement Full of Static, Fury and Truth
Imagine if the ghost of a late 90’s basement rehearsal got trapped inside an overheating hard drive, only to re-emerge years later carrying every ounce of modern frustration, burnout and emotional static with it.

It doesn’t sound polished so much as it has survived life. Continue reading
