Exotic Underground article
View the article in Exotic Underground magazine written by Sonia Blue here
Here's an excerpt from the article...
"Most people are itching to stereotype a band into a particular Genre, tag it and bag it as it were. There are some bands that I can honestly say are their own genre-they've produced something uniquely bizzarre and surreally sublime. Some say it's all been done: I say not by a long shot. If your interested in hearing music that isn't easily labeled as this or that, I recommend you read on."
