Ubiquitous Sunday Post

New Music Monday

the thing i love about bands that are not on major labels, are that they are still accessible as real people and most of the time they still appreciate meeting new fans. i emailed Kim of My Velouria to ask them a few questions about the band and lo and behold, when i logged into [...]
