Who Keeps Score is the new single from South African stoner rock band Ruff Majik, taken from their new album The Devils Cattle which is set for release on the 30th October 2020 on Mongrel Records.
Runaway Nuns have released their video of The Sideways Session, filmed and recorded earlier this year at The Sideways Building in Woodstock. The Nuns performed four songs from their new album, Spit, which was released on Now Now Just Now on the 15th of May.
