    better sense of humor...on Irc my nick is Lucky_13."

    He does sing in a band as of July 1st and he is hoping that it will 
    be called MonkyBoy. He hopes...
    He does a zine and distro under the name of xburn it cleanx and hopes
    to start a label in the near future.
    He is married to a beautiful woman that he calls dench, and together
    they have three cats...which are all the family they need.
    He loves to talk about religion and spirituality and their place in
    a modern HC society, as well as all things pertaining to sexuality.
    Try him out...he loves it.
    His all time favourite band is Trial, who are second only to Bane and
    sometimes Earthmover...depending on the day.
    He will do shows for touring bands solely because he likes bands and
    most of the sounds they can make.
    Do not be fooled into believing he is a HC kid only, because
    xgerryedgex has vast musical tastes ranging from Elvis to the
    Replacements...

    like punk of course ;-)
    hate the bad apects of punk today: major label sellouts, sXe jocks, 
    gang bullshit in hardcore, the heroin revival in the crust scene...
    racism, fascism, sexism, homophobia becoming tolerated in parts of
    the scene(s).
    the scene here is pretty much divided... i, among some other older 
    guys, am the only one who visits mostly all kind of shows (as long 
    as they are not by major label acts) which can qualify as "punk"...
    so on every show i see faces who will never come to shows of the
    other clique... you have 77 style gigs, hardline sXe, moderate sXe, 
    emo, "new york" hardcore, crust and hardly never the crowds mix...
    on the other hand you have the kids who watch mtv and they just go 
    to every "punk" band on a major, without finding out that there is 
    another scene...

    where the hardcore scene is kinda crappy, but in the summer lots of 
    good bands stop by here. I also skateboard, which I've been doing for 
    4 years.  I've got a homepage but it sucks right now, all there is 
    right now is hardcore reviews, I will be working on it during winter
