After Lagwagon and Strung Out, the Fat Wreck Chords veterans of Good Riddance have also released their comeback album Peace In Our Time. This is the first proper studio album after 9 years. And Good Riddance are as powerful as they have always been. Musically this might even be the best GR album so far (together […]
I’ve never been into Millencolin that much. I loved their debut EP Use Your Nose and their first album Tiny Tunes, also listened to the follow-up Life On A Plate quite a lot, but then my interest got lower and lower until I completely lost track of the band. As I placed an order at […]
