Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs With a new album, Ghosts, cued up for early next year, ‘Burn’ is here to tease the audience and test the waters, and personally speaking, you can consider me more than pleasantly teased, totally taunted, tested and with more than a toe in their tantalizing sonic water. Part raucous post-punk, part proto-punkish rock and roll, all barely controlled anger and abrasive attitude (b

Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Shop our Big Takeover store for back issues, t-shirts & CDs Music sessions in private houses have become a popular feature of modern, grassroots music.

Pembroke Tenneson - Sex Appeal (self-released) (opens the original)
