About Me

So, you found my page. Yes everyone has one, as do I. I am a punk hardcore singer who in the band Refuse Resist. Bringing the sounds of yesteryear back into circulation. Hardcore and punk the way it was meant to be. Fast, Hard and full of Heart (or angst). With so much going on in the world, it is strange to me that there are not more bands out there doing the same. Music is the message.

I have been in a few bands throughout the years and have played shows with bands like Bane, Sam Black Church, Cast Iron Hike, the Unseen, Overcast, Converge, Dive, Toxic Narcotic and Showcase Showdown (granted it was before any of them had huge followings but amazing bands none the less.)

I look forward to this new venture and hope you follow along. Support Local Music.
