Just today we've posted our imaginary review of the latest Tullycraft record, Every Scene Needs a Center. My summary of the record: it's effing fantastic. Know what else is so fantastic it deserves multiple "effings" in front of it? The show poster for the Tullycraft CD release show, proudly presented by yours truly at TIG. […]
