Posted on 05/07/2009 by Eivind

The band The Hidden Cameras probably doesn’t need an introduction among the average indie hipsters. But for those not in said crowd, The Hidden Cameras play alternative pop music with often homosexually themed lyrics and lush arrangements. If you see … Continue reading →
