Press Quotes

It's almost like you have to go sifting through Enlightenment box sets to find blowing dates like this anymore, but here it is. With a front line of solid bone men blowing up a storm of various styles all from the pen of Brett Stamps, this has all the ear marks of a classic blowing date/cutting session where the good vibes just keep flowing. Capable pros that know their stuff, this is the stuff--the real deal all the way. Purely blowing up a good time throughout.
