"We Never Learn" Eric Davidson In what’s probably the only true documented account on the subject, New Bomb Turks howler Eric Davidson took on the rather enormous task of chronicling the underground rock ‘n’ roll scene all over the world for a span of 13 years, 1988-2001. We Never Learn is the story behind so many bands that were on the brink of conquering the world, their regions, their cities, or in some cases just their small dank scenes if only for a split second, before the whole damn music industry changed, before people changed, and before mortgages, family life and in certain c...

The Atom Age worship RFTC. Some tracks on “Kill Surf City” at...
