Hey there, I’m Tadhg Leahy — a writer, music obsessive, and lifelong explorer of sound and subculture.

My descent into the world of alternative music began at the age of ten, when a friend handed me a battered cassette of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. One listen, and everything changed. The distortion, the defiance, the chaos — it wasn’t just music; it was an awakening.

Nearly twenty-five years later, that same rebellious energy fuels everything I write. My blog dives deep into the intersections of music, mental health, and modern life — where vulnerability meets volume, and honesty always hits louder than distortion.

No gimmicks. No filters. Just raw reflections from the loud side of life.

William Butler Yeats
