About Me

Lutonian into the local Indie/Rock music scene. Also enjoy the Underground Music scene, always looking for new up coming bands. I Like bands that have a different sound, don't like what I call conveyor belt music. Always looking for new, up and coming UK bands, I don't think you can beat that raw talent and sound of a new band looking to make the break. Was a big fan of Heavy Metal through the 70s, then Punk, but lost interest in the 80s with the succession of "we all sound the same" thrash, crash (whatever they called them selves) bands that all sound very much the same. Today favorite music is Indie, I feel it has more variety, charactor and a more personal touch than your standard Rock music. Also have the Punk still in me so good to see more and more Punk bands coming through. Pet hate is conveyor belt Rock bands, "we all sound the same, but its what the fans want" type stuff. But saying that I love Nine Black Alps and Jimmy Eat World, so I just as big a sucker to the record industry as anyone else.Love bands from the 70's like Yes, Moody Blues, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. Now loving bands bands like Feeder, Muse, Nine Black Alsp, Elbow, Arctic Fire, Jimmy Eat World.
