About me: Hello I am James. I live for rockin' out in bands, pro wrestling and eating chicken. I've been in many a beat combo over the years including Radio Lucifer, Deadloss Superstar and Today We Fight! amongst others. I sing in a hardcore band called Shields Up currently and am in the process of writing some delightful melodic rock numbers for another band I may, or may not, form. When I'm not yelling and screaming, I occasionally write a blog, mostly about wrestling but also including some tales of rock 'n roll adventures and scrotal surgery. I also contribute to Pro Wrestling Ponderings every week.
Who I'd like to meet: Awesome creative people who strive for change through the medium of rock.
congrats for vics show, what's it like to hear your tunes with that famous BBC compression slapped all over it? best bit is when Profisee asks 'what is hardcore?' you gotta sample that! N
