Reader Fan Profile

Age 18 - 25

What are they wearing? Band Merch tees, stud belts with big buckles, low riding black skinny jeans, and hi-top skate shoes that have been trashed from the hours of skating.

Listening to underground post hardcore screamo bands such as Of Mice & Men, Alesana, Alexisonfire, As I Lay Dying and Deaf Havana mixed with a selection of two tone ska bands such as The Specials and Bad Manners also pop punk artists such as A Day To Remember, Good Charlotte, Four Years Strong and Rise Against.

Find them chilling down the local skate park or bus station with their portable speakers listening to some tunes and complaining about just about anything mainstream or at a gig in the centre of the crowd in the middle of a mosh pit or on the front line of a wall of death.
