I’ve had “It’s a Crime I Never Told You About the Diamonds in Your Eyes” by The Black Heart Procession on repeat. It’s an older one though and you’re all probably already familiar with them.

^ I was intrigued by that song title rob, so i took a look on youtube:-

It's a great song - and so were the next ones by Black Heart Procession that youtube played: The Letter and A Cry For Love.

Just love that moody violin! Thanks for introducing me to a new band, and welcome to MB

i've been a fan of The Castanets ever since i finished Hotline Miami 2, but another band i've actually corresponded with is Hunchback Whale. i've considered buying some of their merch; i'm not a huge band fan (i generally prefer solo acts) but i really like some of their songs. i've also been a fan of The Bad Haircuts, but they haven't released anything new in a few years.

Good song!

The song reminds me of INXS - Mystify.

I picked up an EP by Greet Death last week. Their previous release, New Hell, is excellent.

Is he deliberately singing out of tune to add ‘atmosphere’ or is he simply unable to sing in tune?
