    'War is not something to be glorified, it is something that destroys people, even the winners of war come home feeling ripped apart because of what they've had to do. You can tell them that their heros but some of them will always carry that pain of having to take another human beings life, because a real man doesn't take glory in that, he understands that that was a part of his duty in service and that a soldier is only a piece of a warrior, and a warrior is only a part of a man'. Wise Words.

In my opinion it's not about mainstream or independent underground, It's about supporting those who spread a real message. Come back and play in Belfast tech.
