Kirk and the band never disappoint !! New EP A Strange Curiosity contains 6 rippin tracks and is out now. From their FB bio :Â If you’re into the kind of guitar riffs that scar you for life, bass lines that vibrate your skull and a drummer who hits so hard he should be convicted of instrumental murder, then you should check out The Reed Effect at the links below. Could’nt have said it better myself !!
Keep on ROCKIN !!
