ABOUT

Hello there,
I'll speak more to the people who play punk rock. I noticed this site so i though i would give it a shot. I am actually 17 year old guitarest but ill be 18 in a few months. I live in Folsom, PA. its a suberb of philly, where i use to live. I dont know how many musicaisn that play the music i do apply for this site but hey, its worth a shot.

Punk rock had been my life since I was like, in preschool probily. grew up listening to the Ramones on a 45 in my room on my dad old ass record player, same with billy idol and the clash. when i started playing guitar, I really admired guys like Johnny Ramone and Brian Setzer. Those two are still two of my all time favorite guitarests. I write music myself personally that i do through a program called GuitarPro5. Its okay, makes it sound kinda funny at times. the sound I try to go for is a sound totaly of my own, with kind of a mixture from lots of bands that i loved growing up, but not to the point im cheating. i go for like the two guitar sound, kinda like rancid or social distortion. I wanna find a bassest who can really solo fast and knows what he is playing, not just going really fast at random. I am pretty good at music theroy, i take classes at my hishschool. I really try to challenge myself at guitar, tryingt o go faster and faster, learning harding skills to be more smooth at playing. I can play metal and all that, but its not something i think i would wanna do as a main thing. I wouldn't mind doing it on the side for fun, but na man, punk music is all i've loved. some days i wake up wanted to listen to different styles of music, but at the end of the day, Puck Rock and Rock N' Roll will always be my passion. I just hope that i find other musiciand around here who feel the same way about this music as I do.
