LIVE: Milk Teeth / Employed To Serve / Wallflower @ The Borderline, London

This tour is a real breath of fresh air for the scene. It provides punters with the rarity of a diverse lineup: rock, pop punk, and intense technical hardcore all in one night. All the bands are from our fair shores, and it works incredibly well. Wallflower are quite something
