final fight

[mroohlala]

I listened to a few bands here. The Whathaveya is right up my alley, kinda like if Brainiac and Queens of the Stoneage had a baby. Weird is good, pop is good, and this band seems to blend both well. Very catchy songs. Reminds me of the 90's! Music was much better back then, good bands are few and far between these days.

[mayberobot]

hey review people! My band maybe robot is on the list..and we are experimental/pysch..it might be different than some of the bands that are usually on this website..but give us a listen and let us know if you want to give us a review. I think its awesome you guys do this, and support bands. Peace!

[renocroat]
