Its quirky nature endeared in to many, and the characters created in the Duplex Planet carried over into other media, such as books, comics, […]
Maybe a few times in a generation do you find a band or musician that truly resonates and mirrors your own experience in their music and lyrics. For me, this became true in discovering the “East Coast Beasts”, The Bumpin Uglies. I first became familiar with Bumpin Uglies music by total chance, some might say […]
