"I want to see every band. Unfortunately, because of the constraints of time and space (and the fact I don't run fast) I can't be everywhere. Besides, clearly, the 2016 Inlander Bands to Watch:
Age of Nefilim,
Ragtag Romantics, the
Smokes and
Jan Francisco, here's the tip of the iceberg of bands on my can't miss list:"
