Things Are Gonna Get Messy…

Hey guys just giving you the heads up that we’re changing the site up pretty dramatically so for the next few days expect errors on the site, double-vision, and loss of links. Sorry for the mess but we’re trying to revamp the site to serve you better.

A few days ago I caught up with Dustin Aguilar, half of the new band Darcy. I’ve been keeping tabs on these guys for awhile so I thought what better way to introduce the band than with an interview. I asked them a few questions, let them speak for themselves, and let you decide if they really are SoundSuck material.
