Our last year of independent?

Posted on December 31, 2008 - by Mark Zonda

Our last year of independent?

“So we climbed up on the rocky shore / And freaked out on the mountain goats But they were not impressed or scared of us / Do you remember our last summer as independent / Do you remember?”

Another music year has passed. Time for some top albums and hits. It’s chart time at the end of the year, and this tradition has now become more popoular than Queen’s speech or Christmas trees.

This is what Sleepwalkers liked in 2008.

They managed to make a “classic” album. Maybe in the wrong time of their career, and fan haven’t understood that.
