Drum guy. Punk dad. I spend too much time thinking about heavy metal sub-genres.
Truly, the best of us.
I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada
