  A Little Taste Of It: 

I selected this song because it's the song that I'm most hooked on from The Distillers right now:

Personal Opinion:

I really like this band a lot, there is way to many songs from them that I've heard constantly in repeat. This band like many others I heard them for the first time in Tony Hawk games ( seriously guys these games are bad ass) The first song i probably heard from them was "Seneca Fall" in THP4, It's a shame they're not together anymore because I would love to see how they would have been doing right now. If you like punk, give 'em a try, If not? hear anyway why not? Let me know what you think.

If you find this band interesting and want to see more check them
Out!

If you think I've missed something, disagree, agree or wanna add anything, comment!

I figured since the game recently got released for Nintendo Switch what better time to talk about this game and its wonderful music which by no one's surprise is by far my favorite aspect of this game. To think I almost passed the chance to play this game considering I still hold it as one of my favorite games that I have played this year. Thanks to a friend of mine who pushed me into playing it basically and actually buying it and not even play it until 2 to 3 months later but what eventually got me to play it was that this same friend brought his ps4 over one time and he had the Undertale Ruins Dynamic Theme which has a very melodic calm tune playing, this song ultimately made me want to play the game, because this song had something specia
