Latest Review -poprepublic May Issue.
You have to get excited about this one. Australia's Foghorn Records have
collated a killer bunch of tracks from their musical world & its a great
way to check out some great discoveries,indie hits & of course great
music.Completely diverse, this is a musical education on one disc.
Grow Your Own has been around for quite a while as a series, and i reckon this
is the best yet.
