About Me

i have always played music. My first band was a band called Blakhawx and we rocked in a kind of spandex meets Slayer type way. After that i was in a band called swampshack, my first 3 piece, we released a few records called " the screamer ep" and another called "damage" these were very fine recordings and you should check them out if ya can (maybe i will do a swampshack my space)Next was the best and the worst of times. I played in a band called "turn" for about 7 years. We went through hell but made some great recordings. i loved this band and believed in it with my whole heart but it didn't work out. Still i learned a lot about people and music and had some really great times and met some great people.I don't regret anything as it was everything that brought me to where i am now. I am now ready to make my first record on my own.i expect i will have it made soon. It is the record i have always dreamed of making and it will be the most honest and real thing i have ever done, and the scariest too but as my barman in kells told me once "if you risk nothing you risk everything"Ollie Cole
