IOAN

About me:

Film, video and music maniac. Hail from Swansea, studied in Newport, moved to North Wales for a bit... currently living in Cardiff. Anything heavy, dirty, ridiculously fast or painfully slow I'm into! + some of that sweet, sweet nectar somewhere in between!

I play guitar in a filthy and degenerate hardcore punk band called 'GEORGE ANNIHILATION AND THE LEGION OF HATE'. Formed in 2004 we've recently got back together in order to play some more shows and I cant help but think were sounding better than ever... or should that be shitter! LONG LIVE GEORGE!!!

I also play guitar in a relatively new band called 'SMILER' a fierce & brutal mix of old school punk, stoner doom and death metal. Both bands are looking for gigs and we recently did a'GEORGE ANNIHILATION' / 'SMILER' double bill... I almost played for over half an hour!

Get in touch if your a promoter, music fan or even just a regular myspace wierdo if your looking for some entertainment, considering the fact we'd quite happily play for the cost of a few beers, you really couldn't ask for a more hideously extreme and authentically shit sounding double act!

My favorite bands are Black Flag! Minor Threat! Danzig era Misfits! Spazz! Hard To Swallow! Iron Monkey! Eyehategod!!! SLEEP!!! Black Sabbath, Church of Misery, The Dielectric Records artists! Ian Watson & Phantomhead! Gallhammer! Unholy Grave! Welsh bands Taint, Ghast, Jagermong, Suns of Thunder, Swampdogs, Dead Wolves, Bad Moon Rising, Filthy Habits, Brown Wings & Northern English rock rejects Yasha Eats Men, Army of Flying Robots, Black Sun, Faceschredder, Mispent Youth. The list goes on... Just love music in general, too many bands to mention them all!

I do a lot of artwork as well... both Print and using Film & Video... abstract short stories, corrupted media, shitty skulls, exploding heads, amateur gore, spiral patterns of death, rubbish monsters, gooey, dripping text! Always up for making art for bands just give me a shout!

I also write for Mass Movement Magazine doing some illustrations, a comic strip called 'Doom World' / 'Skull of Doom', Interviews + Reviews of CD, VINYL, DVD & LIVE performances. Represent! :)
