CASKET SALESMEN - Sleeping Giants
| AbsolutePunk | | Casket Salesmen are far from being the cure for the indigenous rock formula we’ve all, at one time, found ourselves questioning the very existence of such clichés.

If the differences weren't clear enough, Lindeman and Pirrone soon formed Casket Salesmen in order to fully convey those aforementioned influences, and A Static Lullaby recently delivered a "return to the roots" styled followup in a self-titled rebirth on Fearless Records....full text |
