P is for Pumpernickel

Pumpernickel blasted their way into the Perth music scene in 2010 with a sound that filled a large hole in the market. Bringing back that old rock feel with influences such as AC DC and The Smithereens and blending it with a modern twist influenced by Grinspoon and many more modern rock artists that are too numerous to mention.
With an EP release in late 2010 they have been hard at work making a name for themselves around Perth. After a slight change in line up coming into 2011 they are now going at it like a bull at a gate.

He soon had to place his musical career on hold to care for his daughter, diagnosed with cerebral palsy early in her life. He not only put off his music but his whole life.
