First show of 2020 and I decided to go to Cinqhole for some good ol’ local acts and one Montreal band. It was definitely a great show when the venue is at capacity. It was the tape release for The Thrill, who’s self-title EP came out in December 2019. Pull off a sweet rocking garage …

They performed two pieces, first was around 20 minutes and the second …
