Read the original at Plastic MagThe deepest engagement of the campaign so far: Alex Stone reviews the record and sits down with the band, in one post. The review half reads Wicked Din as a record built by people who know what they are after, and walks six of the eight tracks in sound-by-sound detail. The conversation that follows it is the only place Rich Adlin speaks at length.
A spectacular conclusion to the band's incredible debut album.
