Lexicon Devils with Battered Brains

About Me


84 Tigers: punk rock, interviews, records, and investigating the paranormal, though not necessarily in that order.
84 Tigers is a small group of people, though not a secret society or a cult. But like we'd tell you, anyway.
84 Tigers has no affiliation with the Priory of Sion. Et In Arcadia Ego.
