Welp, we waited as long as could, before taking matters into […]

Well, at least partly to be expected from a band whose name translates to Turpentine. Fascinated, as we are, by intriguing new sounds from bands just breaking out, we chased down the members of Trementina to find out what inspires this uniquely engaging sound. Trementina is: […]
