Suffer - Boy Golden (English)

Never heard of Boy Golden, and only heard this song on the radio while driving a month or so ago. Thank goodness for our modern high tech radios, I noted the song info, and it is now in my regular offline backup MP3 collection.

Thank you for the recommendation, first time I hear of Boy Golden (btw don't search the other way around, some sort of anime smut). Suffer is solid, and the whole CD is great. Saving the link for bandcamp friday https://yaboygolden.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-our-possible-lives

I should've included Bandcamp links, it's a good way to support the artists. Thanks!
