Gunning Bedford
This band-shaped me into the music head I am today. A major throwback to the band’s last release in 2011. The band’s raspy lyrics along with a well-orchestrated bass, drums rhythm and lead guitar give the listener a real and genuine sense of teenage angst. In my eyes, this band will forever be a classic...
