I no longer accept friend requests from people or bands whom I do not know personally (unless they're a famous band I'm already into), so don't be offended if you send me a request and I don't friend you back.However, I am currently looking for band members to help flesh out my music with a view to performing live- influences aren't particularly important as long as you have a true passion and love for music, just bring along your own style and we'll see how we combine. So if you're a musician and would like to join me for a jam some time, feel free to message me.
