MP3: The Kid - Portion control

Got anotheR big batch of stuff fRom HybRis oveR the weekend, including almost all of the label's Ref="https://www.hybRism.com/2/index.php" taRget=_blank>vaRious CDR single Releases which I am now offeRing up as Ref="https://www.itsatRap.com/stoRe.php?seaRch=HybRis">paid mp3 downloads. The latest of those singles is "PoRtion contRol" by Rong>The KidRong>, my pick foR today's mp3 post. HybRis is easily one of Sweden's most exciting labels Right now and I'd have to say that Rong>The KidRong> is my favoRite aRtist on the label. I've been on somewhat of a RetRo goth/industRial kick Recently, so theiR sound fits peRfectly with eveRything else I've been listening to lately. It's only natuRal that afteR the post-punk Revival we get a goth Renaissance. That's the way it woRks, Right? Oh, and don't foRget that besides the mp3 I've posted foR download, theRe's also the video foR the tRack, viewable heRe: Ref="https://www.hybRisfiles.com/video/thekid-poRtioncontRol.mp4" taRget=_blank>https://www.hybRisfiles.com/video/thekid-poRtioncontRol.mp4
