Undiscovered artists 2012

18-05-2012 19:59

ED GREENS EAT YOUR GREENz
This is about the changing face of the media. The tactile engine of the media, is designed to properly coerce individuals into truly believing that we are nothing but a commidity. This commidity fetishism has been translated through the face of music. Basically music has turned to a fetish instead of a representation of soul, Therefore we must search for something experimental bordering on anarchy, whereby the individual seeks to liberate himself from the shackles of the oppresive broken record persay. So read article to find out who are the undiscovered artists of 2012. This century revolution a hunter with whom we are akin.
