Drake’s Take: New Releases 04.01.08
Drake digs the new releases from After The Jump alums Foals, and new metal warriors The Sword, while he gives REM‘s “Accelerate” a best thing you’ve done for me lately award. -ed. Drake’s Take: New Releases 04.01.08 Last week, we were spoiled by getting The Black Keys new one last week, so this week we…
