Have you ever found a song that feels like it was written just for you? From a band so obscure and underground that you can’t help but feel like you were their first fan? Of course you can, and that’s exactly how I feel about the Zolas. I’ve expressed in the past that when IContinue reading “Wednesday: what i’m listening to”
