“Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger – although they by no means received widespread consideration outdoors of Richmond, these had been the bands we listened to on a regular basis. The track references that stuff in a means that is a direct line to the place we had been coming from once we had been within the basement writing our earliest materials collectively.”
