Super World Indie EP Of The Week: Stars On Fire are on fire
Super World Indie EP Of The Week – 4/7/2019: “blue skies above” by Stars On Fire. I grew up musically during the late seventies/early eighties and was a huge fan of a plethora of punk and new wave bands. There was nothing I liked better then than short, lo-fi, messy tunes. Songs that said ‘allo,…
