When we caught up with Landmine Marathon vocalist Grace Perry this past summer at the Orion Festival, she gave no indication that she was in any way unhappy with the band. That’s why we were a little surprised to read that she’s exited the band and already been replaced by Krysta Martinez, who’s also in […]
