J'ai adoré apprendre leur histoire. Je comprends pourquoi je les aime autant

[Maja Kron]

Love this band, loved every single page of this book. It made me fall in love with all the members and their music even more, and I now understand some things that were unclear before. Beautiful pictures and very well written. I will be reading this many more times in the future.
Hopefully they'll come to Sweden for a concert soon too, I miss them so much!
