I am here for Friends

About Me



My name is Simon, i am 21 and study politics in the northern town of Sheffield. The things that matter most in life are friends, family and punk rock. I co-own Broken Record, a DIY record label, promotion's company. I play bass in Red; the Resistance, a political punk rock outfit. These things occupy most of my time but that is how i want it! I may be on course to fail my degree but at least im learning, it just might not be the things im supposed to. I also tour with a band namely Sonic Boom Six, if you don't know them please have a listen, they are a great band and great people. I also collaborated with my buddies in Sheffield to create Hopskotch, primarily a night of ska/punk/hardcore but we do other things sometimes. Please come and support!
