Ah thanks, I'll look forward to your thoughts!

I'm not sure about this week. A few bands intrigue me but not enough to make me want to listen to them. See ya next week FMF

Not feeling anything this week, so I'm just gonna promote my band's free EP in the replies, RIYL Dance Gavin Dance, The Chariot, Chiodos.

that Neon NiteClube is hott.

i was really excited to hear The Death Of Paris after i saw the RIYL, but then it took forever to load correctly. But to the point, it exceeded my expectations for a FMF-related band. their song is pretty good.
