Sumerian Records signs Animals As Leaders?

Of course this story has already been written several times during the past year, but it looks like an announcement is imminent. What announcement you ask?

I would love AAL if they had a vocalist!

RickRock 12/19/2012 9:49:16 AM

I remember seeing Reflux back in the day. They even had three singers at one point and it was a mess. Tosin ripped back then as well.

Booker management and label. Isn't that illegal?

Booker management and label. Isn't that illegal? HAHA 50 bucks says they're headlining summer slaughter, too.

Reflux is legendary! A band that had both Tosin on guitar and Evan Brewer on bass is amazing!
