​EMANCIPATE

About Me-

I have fronted a number of bands since 2011. I suppose in this band I'll be taking a slightly different approach in sharing the vocal responsibilities with Will but I would still consider myself the 'frontman' in the sense that I'm the one who says stupid things in between songs.

 

I pride myself in the fact that I'm a huge Radiohead fan as well as listening to most genres of music, whether it be Desert Rock, Surf, Electronica, Blues, Jazz and even the occasional Singer-Songwriter tune.

 

I tend to feel the need to have a large amount of gear in my rig. At the moment, I run 11 pedals through two amps [although they're not at the same time of course] with three different guitars, a number I'm soon hoping to up to five.

 

Greatest Musical Memory-

Difficult question. There's a lot. It has to be out of watching Interpol play Eurockennes on TV festival back when I was about eight, or watching Band of Skulls play 'Cold Fame' live back in December 2012. They were both pretty magical.
