About Me

I sing for the NYC band Locked In A Vacancy (the band has their own page on this site). My main interests are music and film, so if you aren't into either we won't have much to talk about. I mostly listen to hardcore, metal, and industrial, but I like other things as well. I go to the movies alot, and go to shows even more (it seems). If you live in the NYC area you've probably seen me at a show at 1 point or another. I'm Straight Edge (always have been), but most of my friends aren't, and my band certainly isn't. It's a personal thing, and I've been edge long enough to know that simply being "drug and alcohol free" doesn't necessarily make you better or worse off than the next guy. I will say that I'll never understand people who can't have a good time without being high or intoxicated - that's just dumb.I'm originally from Brooklyn, but now I live in Manhattan. It's quite a change after living in Jersey for 5 years...

My Interests

Music & Movies

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to hang in NYC (any of the 5 boroughs - I'm not about to turn into 1 of those snobs who never leaves manhattan). Anyone who's down to meet up to go to shows, to the movies, bowling, or just grab coffee somewhere and discuss any of the above (well, not bowling - what the heck could I say about that besides "Go rent Kingpin - it's hilarious!"). Edge kids in the NYC area since I don't really know many. Edge kids over 25 since there don't seem to be any. People who, like myself, are disturbed by the lack of bands in the hardcore scene these days that actually have anything relevant to sing about. People into electro-industrial music, and especially people who make their own stuff - I'd love to hear it! People who still believe that substance is more important than fashion.
