Describe your style in three words?

Punk but sharp.

The first track you played on repeat?

Green Day - Geek Stink Breath

I remember this being the first song I was really attached to. I played this song to no end as a teen and it was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar.

A song from your favorite album?

Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia

Gotta be the best song from this iconic album. This song is a masterpiece from beginning to end, all nine minutes of it.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Orville Peck - Take You Back (The Iron Hoof Cattle Call)

Orville Peck was the last artist that I saw before the pandemic hit. This was my first introduction to his music and I’ve been obsessed ever since, this song was by far the most memorable from this show.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Madness - One Step Beyond

This song is a dance song with guitars and it never fails to get me going. 'One Step Beyond' was my gateway to ska and reggae.

A new song you're listening to?

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - My Town (feat. Joe Talbot)

Can’t get enough of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen, and this song gets me pumped for their new album.

Best song to turn up loud?

Slipknot - Left Behind

I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of metal but I love Slipknot. 'Iowa' is full of incredible tracks and this one is the best to crank up loud.

A song that defines the teenage you?

blink-182 - I Miss You

Emo feels the whole way through. This song defined a generation of angsty teens and was a tune that you could often find me listening to in my room as a youth.

An anthemic song?

New Order - Blue Monday

This song has to be one of the best songs of all time, as it defined an entire genre of music from the early '80s. I often wish I could time travel so that I could find myself in the Hacienda dancing to this anthem.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

The Cure - Lullaby - Remastered

Not your typical all-nighter tune but I have a fond memory of being at university and a DJ playing an amazing mix of this song.
