up and stuff.... what was the real reason for that? What went wrong?

Chris Benetos : Yo Kristian from Full House Records / Down My Throat from Helsinki
Finland hooked us up on that tour it was a real shame we couldn't do it . Thanks
Kristian , hopefully we'll do it again soon . Beware !

was going to cost a lot of money out of our pockets and me and the singer at
the time couldn't afford it .

were problems . He left . A year and a half later he came back . It's for good
.

on a friend .

and convert it into word. Lyrics I'll write first and them hum the music to
Chris , those lyrics usually have a specific target or message. The lyrics vary
from song to song.
