Profile
I am 16 years old, currently living in Sheffield taking my as levels at Norton College. I'm drumming for a metal based band Chronic Discharge, which has high aspirations of eventually completing a band practice sober. We're currently working on punk covers from the likes of Offspring and The Bloodhound Gang. In the odd chance we ever make an E.P or L.P it'll be distributed freely due to its horrific quality.
My favourite hobby would be gigging, i try to do at least two a month across most genres. My favourite would have to be either Muse at Wembley, or Tenacious D at the M.E.N arena both were brilliant. Glastonbury and Leeds 2007 were also memorable.
My other passions would be following Chelsea football club [here come the glory supporter rants.....] and I've got a keen interest in Horror and Comedy Films.
