   About Tommy Comstock
Hi, my name is Tom, 21 years of age, born in Oxford, grew up in the countryside, studied in Southsea, currently living in a cottage in the depths of the Oxfordshire countryside, its fun. I like nice people that care about things.

So I guess I'd better mention how this all started... basically, my ma had this nylon strung acoustic guitar that she'd been given years ago. She'd swiftly given up trying to learn the Beatles latest hits and the guitar lay unused for about 30 years. One day I picked it up and learnt to play the A, E, G and D chords. I started putting the poems in my journal to music and quite enjoyed it. Next thing I know, I've recorded a demo tape and played my first ever gig in which I had to compete with a soundchecking heavy metal band for attention. I guess I started off playing loud and hard and shouting at the top of my lungs and I still do that, in fact, I still only know the same four chords.

Somehow i've kept going and actually managed to achieve quite a lot. I know i'm not really very good at playing music but I really need an excuse to vent on a regular basis or I wouldn't sleep, that would suck. I like to sing about things that I think are important, I like to root everything in my day to day life, its more believable that way. Most of all, I like to sing with the hope that maybe I can make someone, somewhere, feel like they aren't the only one going crazy.

I just released an album, its called 'Anchor Yourself to Something Steady', it costs five quid, let me know if you'd like a copy. Also, if any distros would like to take some that would be amazing, if it helps, i'm totally up for swaps!

Anyway, I've probably rambled for long enough. All that remains is to say that if you'd like me to play some songs to you, just say the word, I'll play almost anywhere!

One more thing, I have not and will not charge you to download my songs, if you are on a site thats asking you to pay for downloads then its some little shitprick trying to make money off my music. I sure as hell don't make any money off it so I don't know what he's planning to achieve... Safe, take it easy... Oi!

TIM HOLEHOUSE (London)
So Tim Holehouse, who the hell is he? Well, he's the ex-Among the Missing and Soon the Darkness member who swapped screaming with his shirt off for quiet contemplation and acoustic guitars via a world tour last year.
The resultant album, 'From The Dawn Chorus' pushes the americana-blues envelope with great

Hello, this is a message from TOMMY COMSTOCK...

I can't seem to access my myspace account for some reason, i don't understand the internet :s

UK tour is OFF
USA tour is OFF

I'm trying to contact everyone to tell them but if i've lost your details or something, I'm genuinely sorry.

If you need to get hold of me use www. myspace. com/punkisverzet

I don't know how I feel about music at the moment, i'm playing in London tomorrow and it might be my last show, we'll see.

Anyway, to summarise, the myspace is dead, Tommy Comstock may or may not be dead, who cares anyway.

Cheers everyone, be well...

Tommy xx

How was Saturday/Sunday mon frere?
I think, when I get a paycheque, I might come up and visit and appreciate the countryside because I'm kind of sick of staring at run down concrete houses already and I only moved back a week and a day ago.

Well, hello mr..
Sounds like you had a lovely day indeed. I was going to go out tonight then decided to stay in and do some writing.
Did a little, but got distracted by 'High Fidelity' then Die Hard! Naughty.

Log Bomb on youtube was the one that did it for me. His recorded stuff struck me as lacking a bit.
Maybe it's just not to be.
