OF LIMBO Have Leveled Up With New "Unplugged" LP
Long Beach, CA Rockers OF LIMBO have just released their new “Unplugged” album, which shows a deeper, more thoughtful side of the band.

They produced and mixed this set of songs at their home studio, and had it mastered at Long Beach Mastering by Brian Frederick.
