Over the past few months, I have decided to start writing about one of my main passions, which is music, in particular punk and indie music. Fortunately, I have been able to start writing and discovering more about this type of music for the online zine sideonetrackone, so a thanks goes to Rob, the editor, for allowing me to get involved!
Although I listen to a wide variety of music, I am often drawn to those musicians and artists who have a punk/indie leaning, as I admire the DIY culture associated with it and how some strive to establish an independent and creative lifestyle. Also their lyrics have often had more meaning to my life than some blinged up singer telling me how many bottles of Cristal they have drunk over the weekend.
Anyway…here are links to the work I have done so far for the zine:

Hopefully people enjoy reading the interviews and possibly find out something new about an artist or musician they didn’t know before. The plan is to keep pursuing my passion of writing about music, so watch this space!
