*Singer Andy Macbain personally made me this tape of early, unreleased Tunnel of Love recordings and it’s ferocious! I’m forever grateful! Sounds amazing as always! One of those bands where you stop dead in your tracks and think fuck, no one else is doing anything like this at least I haven’t heard it! A quality I aspire to have, because let’s face it, I can’t hack in the real world. But, who the fuck wants to live there?

Love,

Chris
