Death Discs

by Action Camp

supported by

Vlad Abacus I had the pleasure of attending this live performance, a doomed-up parody of old rock ditties about juvenile delinquency and the dangers of lightly pushing people to the ground. An absolutely delightful collection of thematically-focused cover songs. Favorite track: Nightmare.
