Great writing skills and production mean this track stood up to being stripped back to an acoustic version, which is impressive and well worth a listen.#saul #brother #iowa #quartet #heavyrockers #heavymetal #deathmetal #punk #rockmusic #siblings #acoustic #strippedback #production #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #singersongwriter #musicvideo #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
