Music: QSRxBP 2016-17 Sampler

They team up to toast an excellent 2016, while whetting the appetite for what's to come in this compilation that features tracks from established standouts (yourboyfriendsucks, Chestnut Bakeries, White Tulips) and rising buzz acts like The 尺口MP. Available on Bandcamp.
