Vocalist of Taiwan grindcore band Stench of Lust launches website chronicling his work.
“Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Joe moved to Taiwan fresh out of journalism school in 2005. After a seven-year stint as an editor at a Taipei publishing firm, Joe decided to dedicate himself to freelancing full-time in 2012.
Since 2012, Joe has kept busy reporting on human rights issues, writing scripts for tech, society, and environmental programs, documenting underground music scenes around Asia and beyond, and writing travel articles for print and online publications worldwide.
When not chasing down stories or writing scripts, Joe chips away at the various novels he has in the works (published under the name J.W. Henley), and performs in metal and punk bands. His latest novel, Bu San Bu Si, a gritty tale of the Taipei metal and punk scene, was released via Camphor Press in May of 2017. Currently, he is writing his first feature film script for a project due in theaters in the first half of 2018.”
Check out a brand new Taiwanese hardcore band called GUNPOINT, who’ve just dropped their debut demo ‘Don’t Ever Stop Moving’. The band were kind enough to send us some...
