Rock Brigade! And he sounded really enthusiastic! This article was sent to RegularRocker by one of RR's prime suppliers Shockpower. Since Brasilians speak Portuguese, the translation poses a bit of a problem. Google helped out a bit, but some inaccuracies in the English version should be taken into account. Suggestions for improvements are most welcome!
