Thank You, Delfino’s

Album Review: ‘World’s Strongest Dog’ by Long Neck
Long Neck isn’t just one of the most exciting young bands in the area — they’re one of the top young bands anywhere. The second full-band full-length from Lily Mastrodimos and company is quite an achievement and I was delighted to review World’s Strongest Dog for hMAG.
