To celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee, we decided to ask the Queen herself who she would like to see as our Band of the Month for her big celebration and we have to say we are quite impressed with her majesty's choice. So it is with pleasure that we introduce, by royal appointment, our Band of the Month for June GHXST.
The New York trio are no strangers to these shores and will be heading back later in June to play a series of gigs showcasing their 'Noise Grunge' and we can't wait.
