Well, there's me, and that's it for now. This is just to share my ideas (not that you can take them, though!) and so I can just put myself out there for anybody interested to join me, or for me to join them

Why this name?

Just a personal nickname.

Do you play live?

Not at the moment, but i have.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Infinately, it's made the little strugglers get out there, and you find some jems that would have been lost and forgotten about in previous years.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Fo sho

Band History:

Been in tons of bands in the past but it's just me at the moment, struggling to find other like-minded musicians. My area seems to be full to the brim with scene kids, it's a disgrace, nobody wants to do decent music. Too many scalf wearing indie freaks. Students aye, what can ya say...

Your influences?

I'd have to say 'traditional' heavy metal. Pantera, Megadeth, Machine Head, Iron Maiden, Unearth, Chimaira, lots of power metal too, but mainly anything that makes u want to slowly headbang with a grimace!!

Favorite spot?

Haven't found it yet. If you like decent music however, avoid Cambridge like the plague. It's often been noted world-wide for having a varied and vibrant music scene... it doesn't. It's a one track town stuck in a rut, RUN AWAY!!

Equipment used:

7 String guitars, Ibanez RG7620 with Bareknuckle Painkillers to be exact. I also have aa couple of 6 strings I use from time to time. All mixed and mastered in Nuendo 3 and Logic 5.1, using Line6 Podxt Pro, amongst other modelling capabilities.
