About Me

This is the place to find tracks we think deserve to be huge! Unfortunately due to the stars not alligning and the current way the industry works, they havent a bats chance in hell. There is no justice. They do however, get featured on 'We're Not Gonna Make It' on the Radio 1 session in N.I Check out the session at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/rorymcconnell

My Interests

Bands who don't nesessarily have an industry/major label backing, so despite being brilliant, probably wont make it...spotting a theme to this page?

I'd like to meet:

...all of the bands featured on 'We're Not Gonna Make It' to apologise and explain that although we don't think they're gonna make it, we think they should!

Music:

Anything goes, but guitar indie catches the ear more than most

Movies:

We know not what these are.

Books:

These are like radio with no sound right? Waste of time

Heroes:

Rory - Batfink & riffs. Deci - Computers and nerdy things. Like planes. And the noises planes make. And lifts.....
