SB6: new songs are good

Posted by jamie on May 13, 2011

It’s dead hectic around here at the moment, and that meant I missed out on seeing the Sonic Boom Six and Anti-Vigilante demolish the Craufurd Arms.  Word is that that show was off the chain.

Anyway, in case you missed it on our facebook, we’ve heard from a mate that the new SB6 songs are pretty boss.  Here’s proof:

And, while we’re here, some more proof.  this one’s a bit old, mind, but still:

We did get to see both bands in the same place last year.  Review junkies can catch up on that one here.
Oh, and to stay up to speed with our facebook, you should go and like it here if you haven’t already.
