About Leightonesmith:

I run a page on facebook that showcases my musical appreciation: http://www.facebook.com/HardcorePunkMetal I'm always up for a challenge and some fun. I like going where I've never been before to do what I've never done before with whom I've never met before. I want to get the party started, I want to conquer my goals. I want to travel the world, or at least Amsterdam and Ibiza and then to systematically explore this planet in my few precious remaining years of existence. I would like to find someone amazing who inspires me and complements me in an overwhelmingly satisfying intellectual and physical relationship. I would very much like to see and do as much as I can. To create. To inspire. To challenge social structure and convention. To be an individual. To be a leader speaking with the voice of reason. Searching for the truth in pursuit of the greater good. I am overpassionate when it comes to underground music and I find bands to like anywhere between Metal, Metalcore, Hardcore and Punk. I am anti mainstream, anti commercial radio and dislike passionately pop, hip hop, country & R'n'B (there are exceptions of course). I love going to gigs and I've seen many many good bands over the last 15 years. I'm probably a bit old for liking the kind of music I like but fuck everyone who caves in and sells out buckling to societal pressures to dictate their music listening habits. I prefer my music sprinkled with: Brutal. Shredding. Screaming. Moshing. Music is bloody awesome and I could talk way too much about the bands that I like but you probably have never heard them before anyway. Name dropping bands is something I like to do. I went from Def Leppard to The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Primus, Soulfy, Fear Factory then discovered Nofx, Bad Religion and punk music -fat wreck chords and epitaph and then kept digging, from punk I got into hardcore. From metal I got into metalcore (Unearth, Parkway Drive, War of Ages, Caliban, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying etc), death metal, thrash. Post hardcore kind of stuff like Thursday, Alexisonfire and Hotwater Music etc. own me but.... I can't seem to get past hardcore punk as my favourite style of music. It sums up everything good in music and everything that I stand for. Ensign, Comeback Kid, Most Precious Blood, Betrayed, Champion, Casey Jones, The Hope Conspiracy, Stretch Armstrong, Have Heart, Modern Life is War, Raised Fist, 59 Times the Pain, Madball, Faded Grey, Death by Stereo, Madball, Dead Hearts, Reign Supreme, Another Breath, Strike Anywhere, No Trigger, Stay Gold, Verse, Blacklisted, Samsara, Hatebreed, Throwdown, Pro Team, Final Fight, Carpathian, The First Step, With Honor... the list is long.....
