For years I've wanted to do something like this, it's like making a mix tape that gives you a little perspective on where I'm coming from as an artist based on roots from everything from blues to metal and beyond.  I'll do my best to make sure you understand why I put the song on the list and hopefully inspire →


What is Punk Rock?

Greetings, What is Punk Rock?  Is it freedom, religion, rebellion...

How to play like Atomic Bob

How's it goin'?
