[kj] CANDLELIGHT mailer says Jaz will do guest vox on upcoming October File tracks

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

The 3rd track on their MySpace page, "In My Magnificent Crusade," has a 
cool Stranglers-esque beginning but it quickly goes down the nu-hardcore 
toilet. They need to remove the nu-hardcore gloss or something. I'll 
take a band right now that molds themselves too closely to KJ or The 
Stranglers or New Model Army than one that models themselves after 
Aiden, I Am Ghost, Hawthorne Heights, or that modern Victory crap, etc. 
I don't believe in influence-free rock & roll, but I do believe shitty 
rock & roll can be made even w/ good intentions.
