This “Single Case File“ is written the way it would probably look if Junkyard Rock Stories was a proper magazine. In this day and age you don’t really need us to just copy and paste the EPKs we are getting or to simply rewrite what is already written on band’s social media platforms. Here, we are only giving you the facts in a unique Junkyard Style. Take what you want from it. It’s like a puzzle for your own further investigation!
