I WAS RAISED ON EARLY ROCK N ROLL, OLD COUNTRY/FOLK AND GOSPEL. I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH MUSIC MY WHOLE LIFE AND IVE WANTED TO BE A SINGER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER (MY MOM SANG GOSPEL, BUT I DONT HAVE A TENTH OF HER TALENT)...I STARTED SINGING IN A PUNK BAND WHEN I WAS ABOUT 14/15 (CORRUPTED IDEALS) AND STUCK WITH THAT UNTIL I WAS ABOUT 21...I STARTED THE NEUROTONES AT ABOUT 21/22 AND WANTED TO FUSE THE EARLY ROOTS OF ROCK N ROLL THAT I GREW UP ON WITH THE DIRTIER SOUND OF THE EARLY PUNK BANDS I FELL IN LOVE WITH LATER (KIND OF A LINK WRAY GROOVE BREED WITH THE DAMNED'S 1ST ALBUM) IT WAS DURING THIS BAND THAT I DISCOVERED 60'S GARAGE MUSIC AND FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THE SONICS (I COULDNT BELIEVE A BUNCH OF WHITE BOYS FROM WASHINGTON COULD THROW DOWN R&B LIKE THAT). WELL....THAT BAND ENDED IN A WHISKEY BENT NIGHTMARE WHEN I WAS ABOUT 28/29 AND I DROPPED OUT OF EVERYTHING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS BEFORE STARTING UP THE HARBOR TOWN SAINTS AT ABOUT 31 (LIFE SUCKS WITHOUT A BAND...PERIOD). ITS A ROCK N ROLL GUMBO OF HILLBILLY,BLUES,ROCKABILLY,GARAGE AND EARLY PUNK WITH A DARK STRIPPED DOWN SOUND. ITS PRETTY CLOSE TO HEAVEN TO ME (I'M NOT SURE THAT ANYONE ELSE WOULD AGREE)....THE WHISKEY'S GONE...BEER AND WINE REMAIN...AND ROCK N ROLL HAS GONE BACK TO THE DARK SEEDY BARS WHERE IT SOUNDS THE BEST (AND I FEEL THE MOST AT HOME)...
