Indefinate Hiatus
That headline statement is often heard from bands, but this time around it is actually in regards to Silent Sound Waves. Due to circumstances I no longer have the chance to put in the necessary work to maintain a semi-decent blog, as you’ve all probably noticed over the past few weeks and months, and that [...]
