About Me


Drifting aimlessly between alternative realities ...

The real name is Pete, although that is a little uninspiring for a myspace name. Music plays a big part in my life... I play drums in a band, I review releases/gigs for www.planet-loud.com and I listen to a variety of genres and styles from 60's Garage to Hardcore Punk, although I am heavily into Doom Metal & Stoner stuff at the moment.

Check out my blog for my personal recommendations (if I can shift my arse into gear to write something that is...) or check out my mp3 player above. The tracks on the player aren't always the best offering from the bands listed, but maybe the only online tracks I can link to... so get yer digits working and check out the bands.
