Ahead of their junior album release, the modern-take-on-classic-rock outfit is working with a relatively new lineup. But listening to The Roomsounds’ most recent single, “Take Me As I Am,” it’s clear nearly nothing can slow...
Manifest Destiny’s Child takes to the stage, with the letter "X" written on their hands and instruments bigger than their small frames.
