To celebrate the launch of Infinite, I sat down with @bloggersander.bsky.social to talk about the process of making the record, its influences, and what I hope listeners take away from it.

It's finally here. Almost two whole years in the making, the most ambitious musical project I've ever taken on is finally out in the world.

Grab your best headphones or speakers, turn it up loud, and give it a few listens. I really hope you love it. 🖤

I'm looking for anyone in the alternative music scene who covers new releases – journos, podcast hosts, Youtubers, anyone!

I'm dropping a new emo/pop-punk album on Friday and I'd love to send it to you for any reviews/coverage/interviews/etc.

Please tag anyone you know or reach out – DMs are open!

Thanks so much to anyone who's already pre-ordered a CD or Vinyl from my merch store. 🖤

My new album 'Infinite' launches on Friday 14th November – Standard and Signed editions of both Infinite, and my older album What Goes Up, are still available.

Ranking All 74 Mega Evolutions Based On Lore Accuracy 🎥

This is a BIG one that took a whole lot of effort. Hopefully it's the ideal thing to watch during a lazy evening or weekend.

It's very nerdy, but also hopefully very fun. I hope you enjoy it.

I Completely Disagree With The Pokémon Legends Z-A Reviews 🎥

I've loved Legends Z-A so far, but I've noticed my opinion on the game's most important aspects seems to be considerably different to the media's reviews... I'd love to know your thoughts!

So happy with the progress made with my Pokémon channel so far.

With no real frame of reference, I initially thought that reaching YouTube Partner status within a year would be a worthy but optimistic target. Instead we've made it in under five months which is wonderful. 💛
We did it, gang! 💪⚡️
