Favourite Heroes of Hanoi Song To Play Live: ‘Dig!’ - just so fast, love it!
Favourite Heroes of Hanoi Song On Record: ‘I Deserve The Right To Be Wrong’ – It’s not just a fav ‘Heroes’ song it’s up there as one of my fav track full stop!
Best Gig: Most recent Marrs Bar gig / 3rd album launch, easily the best crowd we have had the atmosphere was just awesome.
Top 5 Influences: Joe Strummer, inspired me to start writing and playing music more than any other influence. Travis Barker, I don’t think I would be playing drums now if it wasn't for him. NoFX,Ii respect everything they stand for and how they go about being in a band, they also were the band that got me into punk rock. Beastie Boys, they've been going for so long now and still releasing great albums. Metallica, probably the first band I got fully into, made me want to learn guitar.
Top 5 Albums: The Clash – ‘London Calling’, It’s such an incredibly diverse album and there isn't a song I don’t love on it. Rancid – ‘Out Come The Wolves’, classic punk rock album there living punk legends and when I listen to it I still get as excited as the day I bought it. NoFX – ‘Punk In Drublic’, could have picked almost any Nofx album this one has ‘Linoleum’ on so went with this one. A.F.I. – ‘Sing The Sorrow’, not a huge fan of this band but this album has always been one of my favourites, can’t listen to one song with listening to the entire album. Del Tha Funky Homosapien – ‘Deltron 3030’, Del is one of my favourite rappers his lyrics always resonate with me.
