Attention System, Sept. 3 at Dragon*Con

leave a comment

There could not be a band better suited for Dragon*Con than Attention System. The dystopian themes, the electronic sounds, the unabashed guitars, the trashing drums – they all fit perfectly. Of course, they might not fit so well with the … Continue reading
