About Me


The album by RJ Barstow, available on iTunes now!

Release Date: 31 Mar 2008
Total Songs: 6
(P) 2008 Newsound Records

Formed 28 years ago, through the freak coupling of random particals of DNA, R.J. Barstow grew up on a diet of prog rock and baked beans on toast. He never shaves his arms and his grill is broken. He now plays guitar around the midlands and farms insects in his bathroom.
