About Me

First up, I'm currently falling out with myspace. So I dont check this page much. Its slow, it crashes, its owned by frickin rupert murdoch, and people spam the shit out of yr bullitin bit and comments page... Its not bad for hollerin at peeps and checkin bands and what not, but generally - myspace is a bit shitty... However I'm still unfortunately hooked into this internet-social-networkin thang. Any friends find me on FaceBook which is far superior. And only friends, people I actually know. Any chancers can stick with this page...
I'm so bitter now i'm 30... My punk rock CV:
Aside from the solo hip hop stuff I do, I'm currently rocking the mic in punk rock/ska core/rap legends DeadBeat At Dawn , and hip hop/ska misfits Tha Gremlynz . It'd be good for you if you check the bands out, and put us a fuckin gig on in yer town too... We're not bad...
Over the past decade or more I sung for a few punk bands: The Write Offs - We're the ones that did 'Catch The Pigeon'. HomeBrew , who are still going now (but have lost the moniker of 'best looking band in punk rock' since i left). The infamous Thirsk Hall Of Famers Mafia Vs Ninja , and more recently the mighty BossEye . I've also been linked to LFD but I can assure you that it aint me.
Back in the day I used to do a fanzine called 'MY GOD CAN BEAT UP YOUR GOD' (after an Antiseen song- and also where the name BeatUp comes from)...
...and while we're on my c.v, I wrestled for backyard wrestling organisation TUPW (Thirsk UnProfessional Wrestling) and held and defended the TUPW championship title 'King Of Thirsk' more times than any other wrestler. However, I have currently retired from the grap game...
The solo hip hop thang is just a fool around. I wanna make diy hip hop mixed with my love of punk rock and its ethics. As of yet I dont do gigs, but who knows in the future. I been known to spit my songs at Gremlynz shows tho. My mate Shrimp was wantin to start makin videos for bands and wanted someone to have a dummy run on, thus the Alwayz Anti Something video was shot. A whole heap of new tunes is under works at the minute. I'm too punk for tha B-Boys, too hip hop for the punkers. Who gives a fuck...

My Interests

Influences: Music:
The stuff wot inspires me musically/lyrically: Citizen Fish, Cage, Braintax, Onyx, The Goats, Oi Polloi, Skinnyman, Sonic Boom 6, Propagandhi, KRS-One, Public Enemy, Blaggers ITA, Angelic Upstarts, Immortal Technique, The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphopricy, Dead Kennedys, Crass...

The Corporation Amazing documentary on the multinationals & companies that sell us our planet...
OutFoxed I know it seems hypocritical using myspace, seen as its owned by murdoch, but still...
