Music I make
I currently play the drums in a band called Fracture Pattern. We sound like a car crash between Motorhead and The Ramones while listening to a tape of 80's thrash metal.
My bandmates are Doug (Guitar/Vocals) and Rob (Bass/Vocals).
In 2009 we released a 13 track CD called 'splinters'. Find out more at our my space page.
In my younger days I used to play guitar in a band called Scansion.
Music I Like
At the risk of revealing just how anal and trainspottery I really am. I have a list of all of the albums I own (really, I have to have this in case my house burns down and I want to persuade my insurance company that I actually do have 100s of albums).
The sad part is I've rated them (well, most of them) so you really can discover what I have listened to over the past 25 years or so. The rating scale is simple:
- The best albums, like Spinal Tap, go up to 11
- 10 is an exceptional album
- 7-9 is pretty damn good
- 4-6 is pretty mediocre
- 1-3 is shite
- 0 means stick the CD in a microwave because watching the blue sparks is more entertaining than having your ears insulted by this turd.
- A list of all of the albums I own.
I've also been to quite a few gigs (probably explains my poor hearing):
