2. What band did you discover in 2017 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
I didn't discover them this year, but I have listened to Public Image Ltd a lot. I'm particularly impressed by Keith Levene's guitar playing. I love how hypnotic is is.

I will remember 2017 as being a total blur.

6. For most, 2017 will be remembered as a year of political and social conflict. How does that cultural atmosphere influence your own music or artistic life?
The current atmosphere demonstrates that musicians and artists need to help inspire conversations about pressing issues, which may be uncomfortable, but that need to happen.
