Hi Paul,

Thanks for bringing the PSB back to BTG.
This is a weird mashup, but the b-side is based
on one of their tracks.

They’re still around, and will be coming out with
a new album, and they are already on the third
single from it already. Check it out sometime.
Yes, they’ve changed a lot from their past sound,
but they still have some decent tunes left.

Happy New Year.
