Only bands I'd be interested in seeing, especially Sons of Azrael. So good to see they have gone from small gigs around Buffalo & southern Ontario to
a good label & big shows.Siczine.com - 2-13-2008 at 07:26 PM
Sons of Azrael is vicious as shit. "GET BACK ON THE CROSS!"
For the price of admission, that isn't much of a line up. $45 a day?! Jesus titty fucking christ.XHonusWagnerX - 2-13-2008 at 07:56 PM
