After reading my interviews, you can understand that my main goal in life is to scour the internet and find new and obscure bands. Enter Lobby Boxer, an alternative indie band from St. Louis, MO.

Milwaukee metalcore outfit and Artist of the Week, Audacity, recently released a live video for their track “Where Is The Sun.” You can view it below. The video was produced by Enterprise Films at The Metal Grill in Cudahy, WI.
