I've always listened to electronic music, the first I can remember being Daft Punk back when I was 8/9 years old. I just listened to the radio to find new bands; I soon started listening to other electronic music artists, Faithless, Chicane & Moby are amongst the few I can remember. lol, I remember staying up until 2AM listening to the radio because that's when they'd play all the electronic trance & dance music; I still appreciate a lot of this music, but not as much as I used to.
I got into rock music after I started listening to my mum's CDs, she listens to Muse, RHCP, Gorillaz and even Linkin Park, lmao. My dad has had no influence on my music taste at all. Hardly any of my friends cared for music and if they did, it would be S-Club 7 or Westlife, lol, so they didn't influence me at all either.
After searching the internet over the past year I found my new favourite bands myself.
