Oi Oi! Iam Joe, Joe Soap was a daft nickname I got when I moved to Northern Ireland back in 2005. Iam a Art Student who has just finished 4 years of college study in Fine Art at South Eastern Regionial College, Bangor NI. Iam currently at UWIC in Cardiff doing my BA (Hons) Fine Art. Iam originally from Derby, East Midlands England (So iam English!). I grew up on a healthy diet of Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Metallica thanks to my 80's Rocker Dad (RIP) but as I grew up I got into metal and later on fell in love with Punk, Ska, Reggae and Soul. Even though I no longer have a skinhead I still love the music and style of original/trojan/sharp/traditional Skinheads (Not Nazi or Racist). No matter how much broader my music tastes have expanded I still love the music I listened to as a kid, I FUCKIN LOVE SLIPKNOT! I also enjoy classical music mainly piano music with Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata being one of my all time favourite peices of music. The Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi would be my favourite composer with his music on the soundtrack of This is England being some of the most powerfull piano music I have ever heard and enjoyed. Classical music I beleive to be the most powerfull genre with it being able to evoke all kinds of raw emotions in people.

Well first of I love Art! I am a Art student who specialises mainly in Sculpture as I love to construct and build things! I also use video, instilation and preformance in my work. Other than that I love music mainly Metal and Punk. Movies mainly horror, slashers such as; Friday the 13th (Jason Voorhees rocks), Halloween, Childs Play, Candyman and zombie movies especially those of George A Remaro who is a God! My massive DVD collection has a good variety of genres, I love european films as they tend to be a little more crazyier than british and american films with Das Experiment, La Haine being my favourites. I love Comedy espacially South Park, Bill Hicks! Tattoos and peirceings of which Ive got 2 tatts and 6 peircings and planning more! I love alternative lifestlyes and anything wierd and different! I also have a weird obsession/possible fetish with masks (Mainly millitary Gas Masks) and clowns! A good night out prefferable a rock night with lots of beer, jagermeister, loud music and lots of moshing, head banging and the odd bit of skanking when i manage to get abit of punk or ska on!

Ignorance, Intolorance and simple minded war mongers! I beleive myself to be a open minded person willing to except people for who they are and who they want to be! Live and let live! Dont judge a book by its cover! I dont care what colour your skin is, what god you worship, what gender you prefer!
