Remember when we made stuff like that in the USA? Anyways the singers dad was big into the early skateboarding scene (not sure if he was around at the time but he came to be fan of the people and brands and scene generally) and recommended the name. And yeah, those particular women are truly giants, but imho not everyone has to be as great as them to still make great music .

I can't 'do' cell phone videos, I'm too into my music really sounding good, kind of a hi-fi nerd but thanks for looking it up for me HPD. Hope you are well C

They're okay. Talented. Tbh, I never cared for any of the other bands you're comparing them to, either. highplainsdem Nov 21 #1
