diehardCFC I thought it would be difficult for L.O.A.D to beat the quality of their first release ‘Seaside Special’ but how wrong I was. ‘Tattoos & Scars’ is head and shoulders better than their first release. From the first song ‘My Town’ to the last song L.O.AD are on fire. There’s not one poor song on the album, you’d be a fool to pass it up! Get it you won’t be disappointed. Colin Smith Favorite track: My Town.
