Notable Quotes

❝ A perfectly calm sea, the mainland on the horizon, a few slight ripples on the water caused by a very gentle breeze at sunset while the last rays of sun illuminate the silhouette of a boat.

❝ "The Power of Failing" is a masterpiece of 90s Emocore/Indie Rock on par with "Diary" by Sunny Day Real Estate, masterpieces of a movement that had to face a giant named Grunge suffering its consequences, and it's truly a shame.
