Vision started off as a website where I
(Trigger) could show the world my photography
but it wasn’t long before the website turned into
a vastly growing, long running music webzine that
focuses on any music whithin the alternative music
world. We cover the latest gig and CD reviews along
with exclusive photos of bands and interviews with
bands. |
