This is The Exclaim Review Of A Band Called...

Adebisi Shank: This Is The Second Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank If I showed any amount of foresight, I would have paid attention to what I had in my to be reviewed pile and have reviewed Adebisi Shank on Thursday. It would have been fitting to review the band that The Daily Telegraph called one of the “top 5 best new Irish bands” on St. Patrick’s Day. Instead, I forgot I even had the...
