2026/08/12
It's SKAUGUST! We kick off our yearly tradition with Justin's pick from the year 1988.

This week we are checking a big one off of our list. Justin was given the year 1991, and selected The Pillars of Humanity. This was the final album for Fresno, CA based crossover thrash band, The Crucified.
