a year of listening

 

Felt like this the second I heard it. I knew instantly that it was special and that Pinegrove was a special band. I see them as the torch bearers for the future of indie punk stuff. I think they're gonna be the band to really break into the mainstream from this scene and it's going to be fun to watch.
