I am Wiped Out as an Attacking Force

by Andy Spearpoint

supported by

Rob Wosley Anyone who remembers the heady days of the Madchester scene can't fail to have come across New Fast Automatic Daffodils.

The best things about Alternative and Indie mixed with a bit of fuzz and stripped of all pretension. An unusually intimate view of a time and place long gone. mickeymacksnack
