  • Seether – Poison the Parish

    It’s hard to believe that South African hard rockers Seether have been a band almost twenty years. I remember getting into them at the time of their second release, Disclaimer II, way back in 2004. Ever since, I’ve keenly...

  • Miss May I – Shadow Inside

    Miss May I are one of those bands that the few tracks I’ve heard from them I’ve always enjoyed but have never gotten around to listening to any of their records in full. I was surprised to find out...
