    Did that dude ever leave Audio?? So many better bands (and probably better photographers!! I thought state was a quality publication. If you had bothered to edit the photos you would realise they’re all shit!!

    Went last year and it was class. Saw Gallows and Rolo Tomassi in this underground beach bar place, full of sweat and violent dancing. Couldn’t make it this year, unfortunately..
