All the republicans have are talking points but no substance. Please watch the whole thing and tell me you can so much respect for this guy.

Ugh!!

ok so I (finally) went to see one of my favorite new bands play live last week at Union Pool. I kind of didn’t know what to expect since I have been listening to the band so religiously recently and was a bit prepared to be let down.

Let’s just say I was not. I will say quite honestly, it was one of the most intense live shows I have ever seen…

Below is a clip of them playing somewhere else but I hope this gives you an idea of what they’re like live..
(also, please note that this is not for the faint of heart, the music is crushing, ethereal and just straight up intense..)
