Besides the love of my life, I love listening to music, going to gigs and doing all sorts of things music related.
I love spending time with people I care about, travelling, seeing new places, meeting new people, drinking ale, following my beloved Tigers (Hull City AFC), watching cricket, reading comics, watching wrestling and learning new stuff...I'm developing a love for all things medievil and magical.

About me: I'm too busy for my own good! I'm in 4th year at The Robert Gordon University studying Publishing with Journalism and it's well hard. Dissertation to be done...oh dear! When I'm not doing that I am one of the co-founders of Granite City Records, a non-profit record label to promote music in Aberdeen. We have our first release: a free compilation CD out now at www.myspace.com/granitecityrecordsuk. I am also the founder of GFN? Promotions/Records bringing the best punk/ska/hardcore to Aberdeen www.myspace.com/gfnrecords and we book tours, release records and do a zine as well and I also play bass for Escape to Victory www.myspace.com/escapetovictoryuk and book our out of town gigs. In the past I've done a lot of writing for the likes of The Fly magazine, Is this Music?, The Lemon Tree magazine and a variety of fanzines. Oh, and I work in a newsagent. I love discovering new music, visiting new places, meeting new people, learning new things (like about history and cool stuff not learning how to work machinery and things although maybe I should), football, wrestling, cricket, comics, real ale and loads of other stuff!

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
