Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. Youth Of TodayBreak Down The Walls

Hanging out with straight-edge guys during the week and going out with gabbers and hardcore warriors at the weekends is how you do it if you grow up outside of the big cities. I had been playing in bands until I was 20 years old, and in my region the scene was pretty good. It’s nice to go back to these sounds; I should do this more often. Break Down The Walls to me is a classic, but may not seem so to everyone. Ray Cappo was also really photogenic, I have to say.
