Vocalist Dennis Lyxzén is of hardcore, near 20 years aged, punk band Refused while guitarist Brian Baker is an original member of Minor Threat and has been with the legendary Bad Religion since 1994.

Despite the current lockdown, we are still receiving a healthy bundle of submissions for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ title.
