Susan Westwood - IC- Music
“There's a definite 80's influence here that I find very appealing.From the BIG drum sounds to the guitars and the strong lead vocal. Over here, we tend to forget that there's a whole wide world of great rock and roll going on outside of the US. Thanks for the reminder and for sharing the ROCK!”
