Give em' a chance
January 9, 2020 at 1:25 pmI’m personally excited to see the new YMSB lineup. Jake is undoubtably talented, but this band simply wasn’t a good fit for him. Jeff Austin’s stage presence is really what the band has been missing for the last 7 years, and while he can never be replaced (may he rest in peace), this Nick guy seems like he’s going to add a spark that YMSB desperately needs.
