Chris Biggs

Chris decided to try his hand at writing because he was incredibly bored of working in a clothes shop. He enjoys going to punk and hardcore shows as well as the free party/squat party scene where he occasionally DJs dark drum&bass, hardcore techno and breakcore. No Gods. No Masters. No Bedtimes. Life Rules.
