LR Rockets

“Beginning like a rock concert on the Klangers planet, before surging into an amped up, wiry rebirth of the same demonic soul that drove Young Knives to wear Victorian casual wear and (probably) smoke pipes in the comfort of their red velvet coated den, But with a more muscular physique - keep the name on your lips, I have a feeling you’ll be using it more frequently in the near future!” Subba-Culture (single of the week)
