On the “up-and-coming” side of things, Frightened Rabbit are definitely on the up and we predict it’s only going to get better. Thanks to Eyjafjallajökull, the band had to cancel a […]
By Ben Grad Arish Khan (aka King Khan) recorded an EP in Germany with Black Lips a few weeks ago, shortly after the Lips were forced to flee India by government censors.
