As Juno would say, the “Hot Roosevelt” strikes back.
Review: Soundgarden - "King Animal"
Chris Cornell and Soundgarden are back after 16 years without a studio record with the upcoming release of "King Animal." Listening to the album, it’s pretty hard to believe that the grunge gods are in their forties.
