Weekend Interview – Pardon Us, Pop Punk from Liverpool
I have Pardon Us as todays Play of the Day and with that in mind thought I'd send the band some questions. Their live set at Rebellion was a refreshing taste of low-fi pop punk played with a reverance to the punk scene but sounding nothing like many of the other bands who played. Regardless … Continue reading Weekend Interview – Pardon Us, Pop Punk from Liverpool
