Good questions Fishie...

Concerning music, what led you into listening the kind of music you listen to today?

I think my love of Grunge bands began with either 'Lithium' or 'Dumb' by Nirvana. I heard them both on the radio years back, liked them, did a little research, found grunge. I still like those songs, but I now like many others too. Thanks to the internet I listened to a lot of other bands such as The Melvins, Mudhoney, Mother, Soundgarden and several others. Mostly either Grunge, or containing Grunge influences. I eventually figured what I liked, bought all the CDs I could find, often cheap as most of the music is a bit older. It all fit together well.

But what was it that had gravitated you towards the kind of music you listen to? Was it the sound? Is it a song's lyrics? Or is it something you can personally relate to?

It's the sound, and often the message a lot of Grunge songs hold. Like Corduroy for example. It has an amazing sound and I really feel the lyrics as I listen to it. It's my favourite song as I've mentioned earlier...
I feel that a lot of the lyrics some Grunge songs contain are very raw and the emotion is felt quite clearly. I like that in my music as it helps with the feeling of the song in a way that generic pop music often can't. And I just love that raw dirty sound most Grunge captures. Hence it's recognised name...
