Hi there, I'm 26 years old and from Sweden. I'm qualified as a graphic designer and work at a printing company here in Sweden, yet currently working within a different area of the job rather than doing the originals for print. Not too sure where this will take me in life, yet bound to find out in future....... he he.

I've lived abroad for most of my life (Newcastle, England / Mallorca, Spain / Brighton, England), yet in August 2003 I realized that I had had enough of all the s**t around me and how I had wasted so much of my life trying to make others happy, so now it was my turn and so I decided to leave it all behind and moved back to Sweden.

Having now made my own happiness my target I started listening to something that had always been important to me, yet something that I hadn't had the possibility of enjoying earlier........ rock music!!! Straight away, I fell for the Swedish rock band Backyard Babies and spent the first year traveling around Sweden to see their gigs and thanks to their shows, that's how I now know most of my friends.... so thanks loads to you guys!!! ;) I got to know the band and met so many new people who opened my eyes to all sorts of "new bands" that I would soon come to love; Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Brides of Destruction, Faster Pussycat, Poison, KISS, Alice Cooper, Trashlight Vision, Murderdolls, New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, Super$hit666, The Hellacopters and many more...

But out of all the bands around, there is one band which is truely close to my heart and exceeds all others..... VAINS OF JENNA!!! Not only are they 4 of my closest friends, but they are seriously a band that will turn heads and if you've never listened to them, then you're missing out on great stuff!!!

But a new band is on the rising as well.... and I'm positive that without a doubt they'll be kickin' some major ass on the rock scene as well!!! As the band's page clearly states, "Make way for the official myspace page of the industrial/metal/rock band "HAIL MARY" out of Southern California. Formed by members of bands such as (Brides of Destruction, Fetisch, and Down Factor)." No matter who you are or what you like.... you've gotta check these guys out too!!!

Apart from music, I take a great liking to tattoos and clothing design. I've also started taking up photographing rock bands as a hobby at shows and will hopefully be able to develope into a better photographer with time and become a rock-photographer in future..... or at least be able to share more pics with other fans. I've now finally saved up some money so that I could get a decent digital camera, so now the fun can begin :-D
