Yes, it was and is.

Just toss the ingredients into the slow cooker, add the black beans at the end and you have a hearty soup with all of the fabulous flavors of fajitas.

Ninetails latest release, ‘Quiet Confidence’, once again has the band throwing songs way out of the musical box. The EP layers all kinds of sound and vocals into what feels like a sort of organized chaos.

“Radiant Hex”, according to the trio, is the account of an exorcism. Release those demons and turn up the sound.

Check out Ninetails on the band’s Website, where you can contact the band as to how to buy their music (because I couldn’t find any clear links to the Pond Life record label).

Cheers!
