EP Review

In terms of music, I’d say: keep your ear to the ground as Sunsetter by Positive Reptile prepares to crawl to your eardrums by

Featuring four songs that epitomize the old indie rock sound, and themes that just scream Back to the Future, the concept is already intriguing on its own. To be able to have it in the present ready to be listened to is almost an honor. The Sway goes way back in the early nineties, with
