Tight for all their bands this week! lastly this week @WinterBurn and their track Dogtown check out Dogtown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LivRIWuYfOo  WinterBurn onlinewww.thewinterburn.comwww.twitter.com/WINTERBURNMUSICwww.instagram.com/winterburnofficial  Dogtown reminds me so much of a rock track from the 70’s perhaps this is because the obvious is it should be a track from the 70’s the riffs are epic some real funk and drive behind them, I absolutely lover the guitar work on display from the scales to the solos and the cool tones on display we could be here for 20 mins talking about that along, vocals are nice would like to hear perhaps a bit more power in the vocals, not trying to be rude or knock WinterBurn but that would be the one area I would look to see a changed.Overall, a great trackThank you SaN PR  Mastodon Hush and Grime

most complete album to date. it’s amazing and so strong. a powerful and classic album, Loved every second of it. What I would say is don’t stop this album half way through its an album you start and
