White Lung – Better, Unsafe on “Sorry”
By Intro to Radio Instuctor | Published June 14th, 2012A little over a year ago I decided to check out Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada four-piece White Lung after reading a glowing recommendation from Aesop Dekker (drummer extraordinaire for the Ludicra, Agalloch, and Worm Ouroboros) on his blog of their 2010 album It’s the Evil.

Out for Summer Vacation: The Sleazy Wheezy G Eazy
