Fossils "TV Magic H20" Review #3

Simply put its like the sound of zombies exploring an abandoned hospital and...

For My second review i’ve decided to do something new from the Different Lands label, I just got a whole batch of new stuff from this label through a trade with head honcho Brian (Also of Pink Desert) and i’ve been rocking all of it non stop.
