Heartbreaking.....listening to their song at the bottom of the article. I reckon we'd have heard more from them for sure.

Very sad indeed. So young. The impact on the front of that car is unbelievable. Great song eh Merv? First thing I noticed was the bass the guy was playing.

Wet blanket here - I checked out their music on youtube and none of it grabbed me. Again they're the kind of band where the vocalist has those awful affectations. The songs didn't sound like anything I hadn't heard before. Very tragic thing to happen though.
