Lovers Grave

http://www.myspace.com/ThisIsLoversGrave "Our biography, or history rather, is yet to write itself. Lovers Grave is still young in its first few months of life and growing fast! Consisting of the minds of five dudes from Melbourne committed to a musical ideal of something fresh and heavy. Drinking dr pepper is secondary to this ideal. As we said in our blog, we hope you enjoy what weve written, and that it is as much as it feels like a prelude to cooler things! Lots of love <3"
