Hi ! My name is Stereo Mike

Music:

Member Since: 31/12/2006
Influences:

I have a very wide range of tastes ranging from Marvin Gaye to The New York Dolls taking in the sounds of Lady Sovereign and The Artic Monkeys on the way. I would like to think everything I listen to ( that I like anyways ) has had some influence on both myself and my music. In terms of lyrics though though I would say some of my key influences are John Frusciante, Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer, Ian Curtis and Thom York amongst others. In terms of my guitar style John Frusciante ( again .... see a pattern emerging ? LOL ) and Kurt Cobain have had a lasting effect on the way I play. Finally, in terms of my vocal style I really like Black, Dave Gahn, Scott Walker, as well as a lot of Motwown singers like Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson and ( believe or not ) crooners like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra
