Hardcore Lessons #1

Why should you go around bashing one another

Everyones got their own style, their own thoughts
Don't let it bother you, don't let it get caught

Reviews: Crippler LBU, Kartel, True Valiance

I recently got a package from Rucktion Recs and been blasting these records for the last couple of days.
