Hey, I'm Tony. I'm a bassist, vocalist/backing vocalist wanting to form a punk band that plays from backyards to bars and isn't afraid to have and hold roots in 70's punk attitude, keeping it loud, fast and meaningful and even have a touch of melody in lieu of Bad Religion or gritty like Social Distortion.
I wouldn't mind crashing at fans' houses or in the tour van just to gig. Instead of sitting on my ass waiting and hoping for things to happen like my current band seems to be doing, I want to get out and get heard and get a good fan base made. Maybe revive the punk scene around here. Sound good? Sure hope so.

Influences
Ramones and Sex Pistols to The Misfits. Also love classical music, theatrical scores such as Lord of the Rings or The Crow. Celtic folk and modern music. I mean, video game music even. I'm all over the place, but my heart and soul is in the simplicity and attitude of straight punk. No bullsh*t titles, nothing else. Just straight and pure, unadulterated punk rock.
EQUIPMENT
I usually write riffs on my cheap Kay bass I have sitting around, but I do my band's work and jam with them using an '04 customized Squier. I jam at home on a 30w Fender Rumble bass amp, and am in the process of trying to get this Rogue amp off of my bandmate.
Don't have much, but with a little time I could get my hands on some more gear. And we could record in my bandmate's dad's basement. They've got recording equip there if we needed it.
