That's PRD takes a look at the best of the week:
March 8: Fathoms
If singing syrupy pop ballads at the KTV isn't your thing, why not go to a performance by this UK metalcore band? The 'non stop brutality' of their songs may discourage some, but fans of the genre are sure to get a kick out of this concert.
