To be stored away and filed... Continue Reading →
Lo-fi? Atmospheric? pop-punk? Who cares, it has an insanely catchy chorus and the intro sounds like a bee freaking out, what more could you possibly want. This is a theme tune for Hallowe'en and everyone needs it in their life. https://open.spotify.com/track/0J8r14l6AI319LwIx5YceP?si=vvBDsXQ5Q_-bVCetdef69w
