Profile modified by: The CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor My parents raised me on 60s Rock-n-Roll (Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys). We would all pile in the truck and sing songs. As a teen, I listened to 80s Modern Rock (Depeche Mode, New Order, Smiths, REM) and 90s UK Rock (Oasis, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Travis). In my college years I picked up guitar, but I didn't really practice or explore any songwriting. Only in the last three years have I discovered how fun it is to write and play music. Although playing in Case of the Mondays (myspace.com/justrocks) is my top musical priority, the acoustic thing is another outlet for me when the rest of the band and I can't meet up. So, here's some songs... simple stuff that hopefully inspires you in some way, or at the very least, makes you want to sing along.
