250 Word Local Album Review: Dsoedean – Continue To Move
From the opening notes of “Daylight” to the closing sounds of “Continue To Move” Dsoedean’s first full-length album is a carefully planned out group of songs that doesn’t cut corners anywhere. The unique drumming of Bobby Dean Floyd laces the … Continue reading
