Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”
Dayliner just released their latest monthly song, this time titled “Mrs. Kuwaltz”, and I’m starting to think it’s my favorite song yet from them – mostly because of the enormous potential on display. It strays a bit from their previous arrangements and shows us that they may have a little progressive rock in them yet.… Continue reading Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”
