I dont like the first single of the record, but lets hope for something better in the record.
For anyone unaware, there is a Kingdom Leaks upload that is a preview of all the songs (good length previews, most about a minute long), as well as the entire track of Rabble Rouser. Just look up Kingdom Leaks Spark Preview. Admin there says he has the full album, so it’s a matter of time until the full thing drops!
Any idea of when the full leak might go out? I’ve been binge playing the preview and don’t want to ruin it hahahah
Gotta be soon… right?
I hope so.
anyone know where??
No luck on my end! Have you found anything?
