Profile
I'm Jane, Janie to my friends. I live in North Wales which wasn't exactly a hotspot for music when I was growing up but thankfully that's all starting to change. I love music, if I'm not listening to it, I'm talking or writing about it. I've been a music journalist and photographer for a few years now and am constantly out and about at gigs and contribute to various webistes and mags with my ramblings. My main passion is rock, metal and punk but I have a pretty varied taste in music.
I couldn't fit all my favourite bands in this space but I love bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Human League, Jimmy Eat World, The Exies, 30 Seconds To Mars, Shadows Fall, Soilwork, The Police, Foos, Slayer, Jimi Hendrix, Dropkick Murphy's and Pantera but I have been know to own the odd Kelly Clarkson or Timbaland CD too! I'm also probably the biggest admirer of Slash in the world.
That's all you need to know so thanks for stopping by. See you down the front!
