I know in an earlier post, I briefly mentioned how “super groups” don’t work. Now, in record time I may in fact be eating my words. This group has played 2 live shows and released a 15 second clip of a song and a 30 second clip of the same song. Seriously, that’s it.

With an album supposedly dropping in the Fall, we may have a lot to look forward to. I don’t want to overdo it without hearing a full song from the band yet. But I have to admit that those clips give me an erection faster than the time I shaved Captain Polish’s ass.
