You walk outside and some kid hands you a flyer to his show at ......wherever. Entertaining enough, I wonder if this kids dream obtainable? I’ve seen many bands and I wonder to myself, what does it take in order for a band to achieve and truly unique and diverse sound?............and I feel that if you’re reall... MORE
