Who am i? I’ve been given the nicknames “sassyâ€, “Fiesty†and “Romperchic†, but out of all the names the only thing that matters is why I started this profile, the website and the name THE EAST COAST ROMPER. I love music. Bands that are sincere, have courage, passion and strength are what made me want to start this whole website/profile. A band that comes out with a style and write words that can change your life are the bands I have supported, have loved and makes me not want to stop doing what I have put together with the ROMPER. It all started in 1994 as the ROMPER began as a print mag until I found the internet and since 99 has been a website. Just recently I took that down and wanted to give the myspace thing a chance since millions of ppl know about it. So here I am with a staff and music that keeps me passionate about writing. I’ve managed bands, done promotions and interviewed until my hearts content and realized that is what I love to do: interviewing. Chatting with bands and finding out everything about them. Music has given me memories, great friends and adventures beyond your wildest imaginations. This is my Therapy, my place where I can let all the bad good and ugly out and I am proud to say long live the ROMPER.

So, lets see I have always been into music. But I really learned most of it from our Stephanie. She was the one who took me to one of my very first shows, where we interviewed Throwdown. Since then I have loved rock music even more and it grows everyday. I write because its a way to express how I feel about the album and hopefully my opinions are good and some of you follow them. After I graduate from UMASS Dartmouth, I want to move to Chicago with Stephanie and weave my way into one of the record labels out there and work with the bands and possibly do some marketing for them. One day I hope to have my own label and bring in bands that will rock this world.

I was born in Ashton Under Lyne just outside Manchester in 1976. I was fed Iron Maiden from day one by my dad, however with having a dad who is classically trained also played a big part of music taking over my life. Regularly attending performances by the Halle Orchestra at a young ago was just the start, but it was the influence of Iron Maiden that held my interest in metal. Getting into my mid 20s my passion for music grew stronger and myself and a friend started writing fro soundXP. The first review I ever did was My Chemical Romance at the Night and Day Café. Following this I decided to start writing short horror stories and then finished a creative writing course. System of a Down to me has been the band with the greatest impact on my life and admire the work Serj Tankian has done as a band and more recently on his own. I am a regular attendee at both the Leeds Festival and Download Festival and do my best to get to a gig at least once a month. It was just by chance I found Stephanie via the awesome 36 Crazyfisits myspace page and she asked me to help input into her site, it was the best thing I have ever agreed to do. Thanks Steph xx

American Patriot who lives in NJ and has been writing CD reviews for many years including East Coast Romper as well as his own 'zine and a long running stint with Carbon-14 magazine. I also hosted a metal radio program in college on 91.7 FM WLFR in college. In my free time I enjoy practicing my bass, running, reading financial news, numismatics and recently got hooked on sudoku puzzles- it's a very exciting life and you're right, I should really slow down before things get out of control. Fun Fact: Used to draw cartoons for a local paper. Not So Fun Fact: Works for a bank. I've been friends with Steph since East Coast Romper was a half page, photocopied fanzine and think she's one of the coolest and honest music fans out there. Despite the number of CD's I've reviewed over my life time, it's still always a thrill to discover a new band or CD that kicks ass. I've been turned onto a lot of bands and albums over the years from ECR and I hope you have the same experience.
