My band, punk band, simple punk, for now. I'm planning on starting off as is, see how it goes, as all music, it will develop into a perfected sound. All songs I record, I like and that's that, I don't particularly expect you to like it, but that's ok, you don't have to.
It's going to be lots of different styles so I can then adapt them to one sound. But at the moment, it's basic chord structures and chorus kind of thing. It will soon be chord progressions, ska, speed, trippy, but all in all, something I am proud of.

Why this name?
I chose this name because it's the name of the government (duh!) the people that rule our lives whether we like it or not, so I just did it to piss them off really. It would be interesting to see if I got a reaction out of them. Hope I do.
Do you play live?
Not as of yet, but special moments, well, last day of school (I was moving house) when I was 7, I didn't go to school instead I went to a fair, got some toys, got my face painted up as raphael from the turtles (not my favourite on but hey) then visited my class with balloons so they could all see how much fun I'd had.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes music more available, both professional artists, and the unknown, so it's good for now, but we'll see.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
DUH! Well, I'd get paid to write music, I wouldn't have the usual nine to five that I love so dearly, and people would want to f*** me, gee, let me think......
Band History:
I've been in a few bands, punk, rock, electronica, thrash metal, hip hop (that ones a lie) but I don't see why it's important, this is the now, not the then.
Your influences?
Anti Flag, NOFX, Circle jerks, Rancid, Sublime, more, more, others, more.
Favorite spot?
A rooftop, in a glen, secluded from the world but in a place where I can see everything, Isle of Man.
Equipment used:
Cort Jazz bass, Cort guitar, Epiphone Flying V, random mic, Line 6 guitar port, laptop, vocal chords.
Anything else...?
I love all musical genres, all music (except happy hardcore!!!!) I want feedback from people, advice, tips, anything you think is wrong with my music, be it sound levels or song layouts, I want to know.
