New Music Recommendations

If you’re ever curious what it would probably feel like to be bludgeoned by a caveman’s prehistoric club…this record is for you. Australia’s Cave Sermon bring a certain level of brute force that seems unbelievable considering this is just a two man band. Give it a listen and see if you’re still standing up right afterwards: LISTEN HERE
