Customer Reviews
The Gold Standard
Much like the beloved Ugly Things magazine the accompanying podcast is the gold standard for great lesser known bands and artists. Just listened to a deep dive into the Pretty Things majestic Parachutes album and learned new things about a favorite album. Well worth plunging into!
AMAZING
