I also need to take down my Happy Birthday sign in the kitchen. If ever there was a time to reminisce about being a teen, it’s the year I … Continue reading Stay For Tomorrow – Lipstick Lips
It’s 20 odd degrees outside and as we’re (mostly) unaccustomed to this kind of weather, we’re struggling. Bedsheets in the freezer anyone? What’s equally as hot (off the press) and downright more pleasant, is the debut single Deadweight from British pop-punk newcomers Deadlock (UK).
