I've been writing for AngryApe for a few years now, pretty much since the site started and music is my life.

I love embracing all kinds of new music and nothing excites me more than discovering a new genre or band that I hadn't heard of before. I was mainly into indie and rock when I started writing, but I do tend to listen to some different types of music as well now, such as some hip hop and electronica.

Here is a list of some of my favourite bands in recent years, although by the time I've written this I'll have already found 10 new bands I really like.

Patrick Wolf, The Earlies, Blue States, The Longcut, The Smiths, New Order, Kraftwerk, Sigur Ros, Michael Johnson, Bob Dylan, Nine Black Alps, Rolling Stones, Schneider TM, Boards Of Canada, cLOUDDEAD, The Beta Band, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips, Beastie Boys, Four Tet, Primal Scream, Stone Roses, Bronze Age Fox, This Et Al.

I could go on but I think you get the hint.
