Pictured: Yeah, no one’s ever questioned this guy’s love for National Geographic.
It sounds fairly trite, the idea of a band writing its music based on National Geographic articles from the 50s and 60s, but Portland, OR’s Bark Hide and Horn finds its inspiration from these little gems. Articles written about a grizzly’s great revenge on the […]
Pictured: Hospital Ships’ Jordan Geiger with big-head cheat code on.
