Wanna do Destroyah a HUGE solid? Go to earnsomecred.com and sign up for the "Fearless Leader" contest, but be sure to enlist under the name MAGNUM CARNAGE... Not only will you be joining my platoon in the coming energy-drink wars, but you'll be awarded 250 free points that are instantly redeemable for awesome No Fear swag. I wouldn't be asking this of you if it wasn't worth your time. Is there a better, tastier, more divine flavor than that of NO FEAR ENERGY??? HELL NO!!!
Here's a smashing new review of Disc of the Damned from the HONOLULU STAR BULLETIN... Enjoy!
Making beats and raising Hell in Hawaii since 1996, Kai Laigo has risked everything and gained nothing... until now. Recorded "Empire in Decline" in 2001; an album of soft rock and electro-pop that has prompted wet dreams across the Aina, from Waialua to Waimanalo
Recently signed to the SIQ records Ohana. NEW RECORD IN PROGRESS!!! Early reports say it sounds like Michael Jackson walking into Wal-Mart, heavily armed, laying down the smack.
