a: sick of it all, banda bassotti, bad religion, dark tranquillity, refused. i'd probably be moved to tears by them. sick of it all can unleash a surprising amount of sheer energy; banda bassotti creates the ultimate party atmosphere while inducing enthusiasm and goodwill; bad religion is bad religion; dark tranquillity brings raw passion into the equation; and the only time i saw refused it was like going to the theatre, they put on a well-thought and enticing show, unlike most bands who play casually.
q: you?
