[kj] eagulls

[Alexander Smith]

Well, this is true, but I guess KJ wasn’t the best example to use, being that they’ve always had a much more define sense and mission than most bands.

In any case, while Eagulls may have their flaws, I found them a thousand times more promising than most of the newer bands. Hopefully they won’t screw the pooch like Iceage and The Horrors have.
