The Alligator Wine
Demons Of The Mind – Century Media Records
When a band is described as being able to spice up any party or funeral, you know you’re in for a good time. The Alligator Wine are two guys making some cosmic sounds, the likes of which have not been heard before. And without a guitar in sight.
