AK-747s

May the Bridges I Burn Light the Way Forward is the first full length album by AK-747s. Inexplicably tied with Black Mountain and beating out Mother Mother in the 2011 WestEnder Best of Vancouver poll, AK-747s burns bridges and slaughters sacred cows. We play fast music. Topics include war, murder, betrayal, encouraged suicide, and a pretty butterfly. This isn't a fashion show.
