About Me

ME:
I'm a mixtape loving nerd covered in tattoos, with a flair for diy anything. I adore early punk rock, post-hardcore, darkwave, riot grrrl, first wave 'emo', and whatever else. I don't listen to a certain style of music to fit into any sect or stereotype. I love musical experimentation. I'm straight edge and vegan - It's important for me to live my life as peacefully and respectfully as I can pertaining to myself and to those around me.
I have a band called Ash Riot.

"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
