Anyone else having trouble accessing the Mutts download?

This Jack Bz (how do you pronounce that) album is gorgeous!

Picked up the Jack Bz album and The Happy Gun EP.

It's fine now. It wasn't even trying to load before

Bears & Bridges is pretty good. Woodson definitely deserves more recognition.

Tharsis They link is broken.

Hey guys and gals, this is Kory from a Pittsburgh based band called August Ruins. I just wanted to say whats up to you all and put the word about our band out in the open. If you are a fan of Thrice, Senses Fail, or Rise Against then seriously give our band a listen...you wont be disappointed.

Fixed.

Checking out Paper Parlor, Tharsis They, and Trapper Keeper.

Listened to Tharsis They on the way to work. Good stuff. Grabbed Mutts off NoiseTrade a few weeks back and that is good too. Checking out quite a few things this week.
