R&P: What is the longest period of time you've been through?

Only while I'm sleeping. As far as new bands, that depends. Could be a few days or weeks or months. Depends on if I'm looking for new bands or not.

Q2: The Virus, Citizen Fish, Rudimentary Peni, Chaos UK, DIRT, Amebix - you may like these.

A1 - A day :-p. I'm always searching for new bands :-p. Been doing so for the past 4 years. The problem is that I've become very critical of a lot of stuff and the band has to REALLY stand out so I can like them.
