Working on fixing it! Sorry folks.

I grew up in the era of the first pop punk wave so bands like Blink 182 inspired me to pick up an instrument and start writing songs. As i've gotten older, i've been exploring more indie "sad dad" groups like The National, Bright Eyes, and Death Cab for Cutie. I'm Indian and recently gotten the...
