Photons

Photons
Genre: Indie / Alternative / Rock
From: San Francisco, California, United States

When did size become so important for North American and Canadian bands? I’ve been trying to convince Mrs Devil that size ain’t important and now it seems that you can’t be in a band if it’s got less members than there are legs at an octopuses garden party.
