  • Pretend is very possibly the world's greatest band. This is a song from their first album, played at the album release show for their latest release, Circular Ræsoning. The album doesn't exist online, so if you wanna hear it you can purchase it on vinyl at their website here: pre-end.com
    Their other albums are also great and luckily do exist online. pre-end.bandca...

      They're from Ventura county, just above LA, but I know the members have spread out since then. The band has been around for a long time and some members have swapped in and out. They don't update their site much anymore so its just word of mouth but their site is pre-end dot com.
