Rezinwolf/Thrash Thursday – The Unicorn, London – Thursday 23rd February 2012

Rezinwolf/Thrash Thursday – The Unicorn, London – Thursday 23rd February 2012

“Permit me please to declare my discontent.” “What?” A fight. The smell of bins circulating in the air as he came round again, that man of violence, the irate pugilist, returning to face his foe.

Then they vanished. What [...]
