About Me

Hey ppl, I'm Jack, currently studying English Lit. at the massivly over-rated University of St Andrews. But what i really like is music. All sorts of music. I've been playing in bands since I was a wee laddie, first instrument's trombone, closely followed by guitar. |As far as playing live goes, funk & soul are really my thing, but I'm really enjoying the computer stuff at the mo....I've been in a coupla bands at uni, but trying to drum up support for that kinda thing in St A. is somewhat more difficult than getting blood from a stone. I did an a level in music tecnology and use reason, pro tools and cubase to make all the tunes on here (which is only one at the mo, but its late and I'm tired).... So basically I'm not out there to try and prove anything, just think this might be a useful way to get some feedback on some of the stuff I'm writing! cheers & peace out Jack

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 14/06/2006
Band Website: well...er...this one?!
Band Members:

adopt your own virtual pet!
Influences: Hmmm. Pretty much anything Simon Cowell wouldn't like, I do. Literally. Big into Radiohead (ok computer was the first album I ever brought). But at the moment I'm listening to everything from Pendulum to Bright Eyes. One thing I will say is that bands that have a 'the' in front of their names have to work harder to impress me than bands that don't. So now you know.
Sounds Like: Well I dunno really, I've stolen ideas & inspiration from everything I've ever listened to (with the possible exception of busted...). I'm just tryiong to write stuff thats enjoyable to listen to whilest at the same time vaguely evocative. the kinda tunes you could have a bifta and chill to.....possibly......

Tippex

Well here's another new tune. This one's called 'Tippex'. Its basically supposed to be my take on the kind of radiohead/ Thom Yorke style electronica with a bit of a jack twist. Thom York's album is c...
