Simple they could play better than most and had some fucking brilliant songs.<br /><br />Their last two albums are brilliant, so anyone who gave up on them a few years back should re-investigate, the singer is now Baz Warne who has given the dynamic back to the band as they are now once again a four piece unit and Baz is a shit hot guitar player.Marky Dreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750519202288418134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-2566342600914435822011-03-15T07:07:26.035-05:002011-03-15T07:07:26.035-05:00Thanks for this post.
