Singles! A Cause In Distress, “Modern Commerce”

As a primer to prepare to sit down and listen to the latest single from A Cause In Distress I took it upon myself to listen to their previous one, “Lumbering”, over and over. And over and over again.

Singles! Beckie Margaret, “Divine Feminine”

21 October 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

Timeless is about as fitting a descriptor as you could get when it comes to the latest single by Beckie Margaret.

But I digress.
