Watt-Zeefuik Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 a long time ago we went to Gwars Studio that they had there in Richmond , great times ! also done many festivals with them over the years Was quite sad Dave from GWAR passed. I'd hoped to catch them live when we moved here. I confess I didn't know much about Avail before getting here, but luckily there are still a few decent DJs on the air willing to educate a fellow.

Neon Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Telling someone their music is shite is like telling them there wife is ugly, it won't achieve anything. I don't like the music but enjoyed the video. He's not posted it for a music review ffs. This, no such thing as bad music, just music you don't like.
