Not too long ago I did T.M. Revolution's birthday, and I included abingdon boys school. I recall that I said that I like abingdon much more than T.M. Revolution himself. They make some really great music and I really appreciate their style. They're a new band, but their a great band. =D

Innocent Sorrow:
This song to me sounds more like a rocky T.M. Revolution song because Takanori's voice is so prominent. It's not as good as their latest single, Nephilim, but it's still a really good song. It's sounds really awesome in the beginning and thne it sorta loses its awesomeness. But it's all good. It's a good. Just too T.M. Revolution-esque for me.
