I bought a collection of music from the label Black Numbers<\/a> as part of the ACLU<\/acronym> fundraiser. Working through the music and hearing some awesome stuff including Fucko<\/cite>, I then hit Save Ends – Hug Your Friends<\/cite><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The contrasting dual vocals immediately reminded me of Rainer Maria<\/cite>. One of my favourite bands, who I first heard weeks before they split.<\/p>\n
