♫ Dinosaur Pile-Up – Cat Attack

Dinosaur Pile-Up sound like the 90s. Or at least they sound like my 90s. Listening to these guys makes me feel like I’m sitting in my old bedroom doing math homework as crunchy guitar sounds escape from my…

Cosmo Jarvis sings Mel’s Song for all of us

before we started we were already over, because i can’t talk to girls when i’m sober
