About Me

I was the singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the band Much The Same until leaving in early 2007, followed shortly by the unfortunate demise of the band as a whole.I've joined a new band called Bad Music Radio , with some of the guys from one of my all-time favorite Chicago bands, Last Annual . I will be playing guitar and singing backup. I've wanted to play the music these guys make for quite some time so it's exciting to finally have the chance.

Today I am old(er).

So today I turn 28. 2 years to 30. I still live with my parents. This causes a flurry of all kinds of weird and confused thoughts in my head. On one hand, I feel like a very responsible teenager with ...

I am happy with the state of music today...

... because it's finally like it was when I first got into punk rock. All the cool kids listen to music I hate, and liking fast, melodic skate punk makes me a loser and an outcast to most of the world...
