Song of the Day: Jamaican Queens – Kids Get Away

You know when you hear a song, one of those songs that just punches you in the gut, and makes you smile at the same time? The song you know you could listen to on repeat and never get sick of, and could make it on any mix tape (or online playlist), that you may make? Enter, Jamaican Queens.

  I thought I had a packed schedule this night, but it turns out I had only chosen bands to see at 11pm, since I was tired from traveling all day to farmland, I figured that was okay since I was starting super early. We got caught in massive traffic coming back to the city and I was cutting it really close to Human Human’s 8pm start time at Supermarket. I raced in the house, did the ‘key area’ shower,  … →
