Ever since their first single on the French Larsen label, there was something in the air “indikating” that something’s about to hit the moderndaze sixties scene. Over the past year or so, they kept us […]
Masterminded by an ex-Frampton Brother, Ed Masley, The Breakup Society’s debut finds us learning about the usual girl-trouble in the most entertaining and funny way.
