evilness?

About Me

A wild past. Jay moved to Sudbury. Band breaks up. Now... weeks later, Basement Arms is kind of back together sort of. They're playing the same songs, but something is different. What could it be? A-ha! Their evilness is through the roof! What kind of audience will want to endure the sounds of such evilness? You?
