Y’know, it’s a hard life here at Midlands Rocks Towers. April was a busy time again for us at MR and we sifted through countless releases and reviewed a bunch of ‘em just for you… Well, that’s what the boss tells us anyway. And so, because we couldn’t have you miss out on any of them, here they all are.
Aren’t we good to you? Please say yes! The boss’s dog is looking a little underfed and it’s got a strange look in its eyes… Enjoy! (Please!)
Oh look! One of us read a book:
From Midlands Bands:
