The Essence - Only For You 12"
(Midnight Music – DONG 41], 1988) [NED]




I had listened to this song probably 3 or 4 times before realizing it was not The Cure! The Essence is great Cure worship out of The Netherlands. A 12" single.

A CD release from 2011 by San Francisco group The Bilinda Butchers. This is the 2012 Japanese re-release with three additional tracks included. In 2018, it seems the band re-worked and re-recorded the song 'Boyfriend' and released it as a single called 'Girlfriend' that I will also upload!

DHARMA DAYS - LEGS EP (SELF RELEASED, 2010) [USA]

Dharma Days - Legs
(Self Released?, 2010) [USA]




A band I really know nothing about and I cannot find any information on the internet, really. I downloaded this six song EP? Demo? when it came out initially in 2010 and have played the hell out of it ever since. I wish I could find some more information on the band! Did they change their name? Call it quits? All I have found have been these two live videos on YouTube that were uploaded approximately 13 years ago and each has under 150 views. So, I do know in fact that the band did exist! These songs rip, though, in the vein of Jesus & Mary Chain. Anyone got any more information they could share about the band?
