About Me

I'm married to Joanne with two kids Matthew and Natalie we have a dog Dennis a guinea pig and three goldfish. I'v been into punk since about 1979/80 when i heard Slaughter and the dogs do it dog style album at a mates house.After that i started to listen to early stuff like the pistols and Damned but for me the Subs have been the best over the years as far as punk is concerned.i like psycobilly bands favourites being King Kurt the Meteors and Gauna Batz.Another favourite band is The men they could'nt hang who came through in the early 80's and are as good today as ever.Bands i have seen recently are City Kids The Scabs No Thrills Asezawallas and Hellfire all very good Cumbrian bands also Gimp Fist from Darlington well worth checking out.There are loads of good new bands on Fungalpunks Underdogs cd you can get on to Fungalpunks site from my friends list.
