About Me

Simply send a friend request and email your preferred mailing address - it's that easy!When my last band dissolved in 2007 I decided to take the songs I had been writing since the age of 14 and go into the studio to lay them down. I had a goal of working them until they were ready for ear play, and then start performing again.This lasted about 6 months before the live bug bit, and I was soon playing acoustic sets, where I discovered a new sense of freedom - I could control all the experimentation and feed soley off the audience for criticism.Through all of this, I played under different names - Down 6, Joe Joe Joe, Tighter Please - before creating Covercharge. Many people ask why, and the answer is always the same; interpretation is up to the individual so I'll let you decide.After building a small fan base, I hit the studio again with renewed passion, and have not come out until now. With over 20 solid songs and over 100 (and counting) still in progress, I have released "The Surgeon Stitch" EP which is currently doing the A & R rounds and is being distributed to anyone who will take a copy.In the meantime, support Covercharge through MTV Kickstart and let's change the world.

Sounds Like: COVERCHARGE is everything you've been missing.You know what we're talking about here. It's that void you feel upon waking at 4am. It's that thought that never quite comes to the surface no matter how hard you try. It's that word on the tip of your tongue that you need to say but can't get it out. It's the quiet calm that you feel for a second - but that second can feel a life time once it's gone. Covercharge is the putty to fill hole that has always been there, but you've learnt to hide.COVERCHARGE IS WHAT YOU NEED.
Record Label: Unsigned
