Musicians

Reviews

"While supposedly "lo-fi" recordings can sometimes be responsible for 'alternative' music's most heinous crimes, in Mike Badger's capable hands, these excursions are usually intriguing at least and always crackling with passion and soul."

— Tim Peacock (Whisperin and Hollerin) [1]
