High Fives and Stage Dives!

About Me

Ben Joseph Simcox, Est. 13.3.88
I'm bringing back the high-five (h5)
My life is ace, and pretty much revolves around music & my amazing girlfriend.
I love going to shows & buying merch.
You'll find me down the front or in the pit.
I don't play an instrument; I am not musically talented.
I love metal and I love hardcore.
It's helped me to be positive, appreciate the things I have and respect myself and others. That's what it's about; not your haircut, dressing like it's sports day, violence and acting tuff/like a twat.
I love finding new music I can really get into.
I support underground UK bands and music when and where ever I can.
I'm currently a bum, job hunting to the max!
I drink too much but I certainly have fun doing it. Countless nights in JBs/Wolves/B'ham/Warwick etc are a testament.
I I laugh at all the wrong things; you probably do too.
I generally take risks and live for the moment, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow.
I'm a big fan of organisation (Y)
I live in a nice part of Dudley, about 20 mins from Birmingham city centre.
Dudley town centre is proper shit though, avoid it!
I can be well stubborn if i think/know i'm right.
I like to talk! Don't hesitate to add me if you share interests and ACTUALLY REPLY; I can soon just deny you anyway, ha!
