About Me

ATTN: BANDS
Before adding me for your whoring purposes, please leave me a message with a reason as to why you think I'd enjoy your music, how you came across my profile or even a simple hello. I've got quite a number of bands who I've never heard of on my list as it is, and I try to keep only artists I think deserve recommending listed. Thank you.
Well, I figured I might as well update this so it actually says something about me. Firstly, I'm 19, studying Science at QUT. Before that I grew up in Mt Isa, and to be honest I miss a lot of people there.
Secondly, Music is where my interests truly lie. I'm listening to something pretty much every oppurtunity I have, and I consider myself to be very open to all genres. I generally find most enjoyment listening to Rock & Metal though, heading towards the progressive end of things. I play Guitar and Bass, but I've lost a little heart this year. I had to downgrade my Guitar and Amp to get into college, and my Bass remains in Mt Isa. I rarely play anything anymore though, as I lack the motivation to play instruments that sound bad right from the start. I used to attempt to write things, and often came up with bits and pieces, but I'm yet to make anything work. Things will look up next year I hope.
If I think of anything else I'd like to say, I'll say it later.

Fornost - Der Wind Hat Mir Ein Lied Erzählt [CD Review]

Every once in a while, a person will find an album that manages to alter their entire opinion on a genre. For me, Der Wind Hat Mir Ein Lied Erzählt was one of those albums. I first heard it when I new...

True Live - Minton's [CD Review]

True Live formed in 2003, and believe that their name reflects exactly what they are. A truly amazing, live experience (which I myself have not yet seen, but I've read a bit that confirms this). The g...
