About Me

"This world doesn't fight you, you fight yourself.
Thinking we fail you? You fail yourself."

Vocalist & guitarist in Hearts Under Fire - I don't know where I'd be without this band. I'm going to live my life on the road with these ladies; I'll never have it any other way.

I'm vegan & very passionate about animal liberation. I don't care for fashion, in honesty; I've got more important things to worry about. I get irritated really easily & I'm not much of a morning person. I like playing live shows & then getting shameless afterwards - that's how it works.

My Interests

Music, veganism, body-modification, learning to drive, self-medicating, literature, Mark & Jane @ Gravity, peta2.com, my brother & sister.

I'd like to meet:

Tim McIlrath, The Bronx & Chuck Ragan.

& this man:

Music:

..is more important than anything.

Namely.. Rise Against, The Bronx, Converge, Hot Water Music, Comeback Kid, The Mingers, Michael Jackson, Strike Anywhere, Paint It Black, Alkaline Trio, Gallows, Tellison, Municipal Waste, Brand New, The Plight, The Agony Scene, Anti-Flag, The Distillers & Prince, amongst many others. Then loads of other stuff of various genres.

These boys know how to rip it up:

Television:

Nathan Barley.

Books:

"The modified body is body become art, body become machine, body become project, body become more than human."

- "The Post-Modified Body", by Matthew C Lodder.

Heroes:

Okay, so, Straight Edge.I've nothing against it - I'm certainly not edge & I think no differently of anyone because of their choice of recreational habits. The only thing that bothers me is the blatan...

when will you learn?

Smoking will not enable you to scream better. It does not make your voice "gruffer", it makes it weaker. Learning to breathe properly will not only give you a deeper, more toneful scream/shout, but wi...

riot grrl, schmiot grrl.

Hmm. This whole 'riot grrl' / 'third-wave feminism' thing is kind of getting to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some chauvinist-trapped-in-a-girl's-body or anything, I just think that feminism often g...
