PUBLIC ACID , TRAMADOL and DOCILE at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Public Acid assault the senses with d-beat despair and blackened menace - one of the most chaotic and vital forces unleashed on the poor ol’ Exchange basement in all its beer-soaked history. With Leeds hellscapers Tramadol in tow, this is a total wrecking ball FFO: Discharge, Physique, G.I.S.M., Impalers, BIB, Warthog. "
