Two Snakes — Cut Them Down
Rock
Joshua Boydston
Who needs Red Bull, 5-hour Energy or a Thermos of coffee when you can consume Oklahoma City rock act Two Snakes’ EP, Cut Them Down, in less than 10 minutes? It plays like an adrenaline shot: quick, ballsy, addictive.
Rock of ageless
That Aug. 31 show of Def Leppard, Poison and Lita Ford proved nothin’ but a good time.
