TITLE: Darko

There always be a lot of sweat, flings, sore bodies and throats, noise and happiness, bloody knees, and kicked-out teeth. Also, poverty married with enthusiasm, toxicity with raw truth, and filth with purgatory will make punk rock what it always was and always will be: another chance to live life at full speed.
