Loving the continuing Parkway Aggro

As I said on the facebook page - I'm looking forwards to the 2020 headliners, if only so that we can hear about someone other than tHe FuTuRe oF mEtAl !

Thursday Footprints in the Custard - 5/10 - Tight, well done; Alestorm with none of the wit.

Friday Midnight Prophecy - 10/10 - It might be straight u...

But no. The answer is no.

Thy Art & MaroonDrive to go. I reckon they could get Visions of Atlantis, Avantasia & Gamma Ray with the money saved...

Thank Christ for that. Emoscreamo rubbish is one thing, but BOA can't start booking rappers !

Grab a random pub band called something similar, confuse the karate kids, profit !
