about

"You could say that the Detroit based BILL BONDSMEN play raw, angry hardcore punk and leave it at that. But that’s lazy. And since I’m getting paid by the word, I need to pad this out a bit (wink, wink).

But since it’s probably a good idea to pick ‘em up instead of keel over, I get out the ATM card and swiped away. Then I get home, walk in the door, put on ‘Swallowed By The World’, flop down in the recliner and proceed to get bombarded by the BONDSMEN’s fierce
