My Sins
Meet My Sins
It’s peanut butter-rock time, peanut butter-rock time!
What is your preferred nut-butter? New York’s My Sins is partial to the most classic standby, and delivers music that is as equally delicious. Forget about all that cashew / almond / sunflower wank.
And don’t even bring Nutella into this.
Below, the crew reveals concert pet-peeves, their candy instrument dreams, and recall a certain spy of our childhoods.
