About Me

I would describe myself as an "evolved southern boy". I have an accent like Matthew McConaughey, though I don't think it comes through when I sing. I like to write songs. I like to record songs. Most of all, I like to listen to songs. Music is my life, always has been. Music has been my friend through thick and thin. It has never let me down.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 19/10/2005
Band Members: Chris Ellison

Influences: I have a shitload of influences cuz I've been listening to music since I was a fetus. These are some of the bands that have inspired me the last few years:

QOTSA | RHCP | Tenacious D | Marilyn Manson | NIN | Radiohead | The Cure | Weezer | TOOL | The Smiths/Morrissey | Coldplay | Led Zeppelin | Queen| Pink Floyd | Pete Yorn | Aphex Twin | Type O Negative | Smashing Pumpkins | Faith No More | Cruiserweight | Trail of Dead | Andre 3000 | Timbaland

I'm also influenced by non-music stuff like movies, friends, life-situations, etc. If something has an impact on my life, chances are I'll write a song about it.
Sounds Like: Whales mating...fiercely.
