6. Why should I give Every So Often a whip past the earholes?

 

Every So Often riffs harder than teenage boys finding their father's Penthouse collection  and grooves more than a self-harmer left alone with a ruler.

Indeed they do. Trust Me I’m A Genius is a banger and Carnival nails it.

The Family Rain were inspired to form a band by watching a show by The Darkness.
