Few kids bands possess a ‘Lucky Diaz quality’ in the visual realm. I’m talking logo/font/website/apparel/album packing/video…all the stuff I’m terribly geeky for. Oh, the music is pretty sweet too 🙂 Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band simply look brilliant on the screen and in your hands (note: I’ve never […]
There ain’t a lot of kiddie hardcore. So if you grew up with Damnation A.D. or Biohazard or some such band and look for something similar for your kids, well, you probably aren’t going to have much luck. At the very least, you’ve now got this thrashing one minute video […]
