Former DRAIN STH Drummer MARTINA AXÉN Featured In New ZINNY ZAN Music Video
Former DRAIN STH drummer Martina Axén is featured in the music video for Zinny Zan‘s cover version of the DEPECHE MODE classic “It’s No Good”.

Ed Sheeran Gets Approval for Underground Crypt on English Estate
Ed Sheeran is getting his crypt after all. The pop star’s application to add the underground lair to his property in Suffolk, England has reportedly been approved.
