Digital Escort – “Hits For Slit Wrists” – Single Review Well now! No one ever accused Digital Escort of doling out the audible-sunshine now did they? With a notable twist of their electro-sound shifting more towards the extreme-industrial side of their style on the new single “Hits For Slit Wrists,” Digital Escort might not be […]Read More
