About Us
Popped Music began life in 2010 as a project to keep one foot in the door of the new music scene. In 2014 things began to pick up and the site has become loved by many and is growing week on week.
The adventure is only beginning!
Here’s a little more about us, the people who run this thing, write for it and shoot for it!

Favourite band: Oasis
Favourite venue: Liverpool Royal Court (stopped being a music venue years ago but it was BRILLIANT)
First gig: The Prodigy supported by Foo Fighters at GMEX on The Fat of The Land tour
Interesting fact about me: I haven’t bought an album unless sold by a band at a gig for three years – said he wasn’t going to take photos of bands and now makes money doing it!
