Introducing: Woes

Place your hand over your heart, and repeat after me.. I believe in melody, I believe in energy, I believe in pop punk.

I am a man who is nearly 32 years old, and I do believe in melody and energy and its why I love pop punk.
Some bands have this innate ability to make you flashback to moments in life.
Woes are one of those bands.

The Scottish quartet have invaded my ears and my mind over these past few months and in doing so, have used there slick powerful pop punk to remind me of lost summers with my friends. Those endless summers of pop punk and Drive-Thru Records, where we chased *unsuccessfully* girls, partied, talked to early hours, made mistakes but more importantly made memories.
Woes have that killer throwback quality, but sound as relevent and new as other amazing bands like Wstr or Neck Deep.

The band are super DIY too, interacting with their fans, handling production and recording duties aswell as writing huge songs like 'Worst Friend' and 'Be Alone'.

They encapsulate everything I love about pop punk, huge choruses, crunchy guitars, chunky basslines and explosive drums. They simply exchange the infectious energy for intimacy when they decide to strip the songs down to an acoustic format, and the songs breathe with a whole new life, a mark of great song writing.

I think Woes could be potentially the next big UK pop punk act.. Neck Deep and As It Is are currently flying the flag worldwide and Woes may not be far behind, even joining both of the aforementioned bands on the Neck Deep Autumn tour.

Woes are built for bigger things and I am personally happy to have joined them as a fan, early on the ride.
New music is on the horizon, bigger tours booked, new fans acquired everyday and a band that continue to grow and better themselves.
I'm booked to see Neck Deep in October and am thoroughly looking forward to seeing Woes spring to life and own that larger stage!
Join the ride and support Woes.

Wrestlemania 34 Review

So as per tradition here is my official Wrestlemania 34 Review. Match by match I will give my opinions (for whatever they're worth), remember though, this is strictly my opinion and nothing more. With that, let us begin.. Pre-Show: We descend upon the Superdome and are greeted with the 5th annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal . As per usual, the poor unfortunate ones who haven't found themselves in a featured match on the card, begin slowly filling up the ring. The Battle Royal has always felt somewhat like an anticlimactic event, the winner gets a trophy but doesn't gain much else from the win. Being honest I wasn't bothered too much by who would win. Sad really. HOWEVER.. What actually transpired was something 'wonderful'. A highlight of sorts came from 'Woken' Matt Hardy bumping into Tye Dillinger and comically exclaiming 'Who are you?' before Tye showed him '10' and the crowd chanted, which in turn led to Matt

My 2017

So as usual I'm doing my year in review summery. 2017 has been an interesting year for me, in terms of growth, challenges and learning more about myself. Its been a year that at times has been difficult, but I feel like the things have been difficult in order to provide me with a stronger outlook and resolve heading into 2018. Life does have a interesting way of balancing itself, although bad happens eventually good will always rise up to equal it. I've met some amazing new people this year too. People that although I haven't known long, I am very grateful for their presence in my life. I feel very happy to have each and every person who has spent time with me or talking to me this year. You all know who you are and we all have great times to come. I broke straight edge after 10 years, something that was a big thing for me, an evolution of sorts. I've also added more tattoos to my body, which will continue next year too I have taken in some amazing gigs thi

Remembering Dave Melillo 'Talk Is Cheap'

Its funny how the past still influences the future, and in that vein its safe to say it's funny how my past musical loves can influence me still today. Anyone who knows me will attest that I have been a pop punk fan since they first met me, be it a year ago or 20 years ago. Back in the summer of 2006 I discovered an EP entitled 'Talk is Cheap', it was released through Drive Thru Records (a label that housed some of my favourite bands) and was by a singer songwriter called Dave Melillo. The EP was an enriched blend of acoustic guitar and piano laden melodies, all drenching a mix of forlorn and optimistic lyrics. The reason the EP stuck with me was simply because the songs are so accessable, especially as lyrically its easy to relate to everything Dave sang. Comparisons will be made to the likes of Dashboard Confessional or The Rocket Summer, and whilst the acoustic singer songwriter aspect is the same, Dave very much has his own voice and take on the genre. One las
