[kj] Opening Track

[Wessidetempest]

Carved in sand was the beginning of the end. It had a few good tracks but had more filler. The following record had to either be fantastic or total crap. It was total crap. And they never recovered. The us tour to support carved was great. But that's about it

Someone knows if they do have any connection with Youth or Killing Joke (as far as I remenber Youth did a mix on one of their singles, but don´t know which one)

If they have any sense at all, they'll be comfortable on their bus or in the backstage area while the local yokels bore us all to tears. I swear to god, I've spent more time in my life waiting for bands to stop playing than anything else.
