Punk of Country – leaving the trees behind

Posted on by Knut in Nordic music, Reviews | 1 Comment

Tweet Aaaaargh! I have just spent an hour writing a very good review of this fantastic album from swedish Punk of Country, and just when I was about to publish it, it just disappeared. “Log in”, it said. Aaaarrrgh!
