Glue Foot -‘Seed’

Something 90s this way comes. Music, like fashion, is cyclical and it seems we’ve reached the point where the British music scene is looking back to Seattle, circa 1992. Though each added their own identity, bands like Hindsights (RIP) and Milk Teeth have an energy, sound and aesthetic that
