MC iPod *new demo up now*

About Me

MC iPod plays white-boy rap, influenced by punk-rock, nerdcore and alternative hip-hop. I've played shows with many, many awesome and diverse acts, such as MC Lars, The Luchagors (featuring ex WWE wrestler Lita), Mouthwash, Sonic Boom Six, Abdoujaparov (ex Carter USM), Maths and Zombina and the Skeletones. Originally based in Norwich, I'm now based in Cambridge. I've been doing this since 2005 and am far, far too old to still be going at it.

Over the years I've self-released a couple of full-lengths and some other odds and sods, and I've finally got a new EP coming out towards the end of 2009.
