Advantages: fun, catchy, great riffs
Disadvantages: not a vast fan-base

This is the purchase for you. =San Dimas High School Football Rules= The EP starts off with the thumping, explosive, "San Dimas High School Football Rules" which, as I pointed out in my other review, as become the fans' favourite. The track is basically a story of the perfect night out with the perfect girl: "Last... Read review
