About
"The female Johnny Ramone."
Yep, that's what I've been called. And I guess it's a pretty accurate description. I like to play hard, fast, simple but complicated, melodic but noisy.
I'm pretty much a solo artist and write and record my own stuff. I played in a bunch of bands over the years in Toronto, like The Johnnys, Fidget, The Impatiens and Trans Love Airways, and I'm currently the guitarist in 1979 Hamilton-Toronto old-school punk band Slander.
I also have my own projects The Gloom and Dronica.
You can find all this stuff and more on my website: http://www.emma-o.net
