October 8, 2003

After two or three listens, I “connected” with the music of Dead Soul Tribe and started to experience their poetic, darkened realms of creativity.

The Appleseed Cast – Two Conversations – Review

Spastic, Black Flag-inspired hardcore with grind tendencies and a strong political message centered around the Philippines.
