Trash Theory has been chronicling the stories of pop and rock music on YouTube since 2017. Since he began he has accumulated more than half a million subscribers and sixty million views.

With a warm narratorly tone he's deep dived into synth-pop classics, alternative rock anthems, house pop oddities, Britpop antecedents, goth rock origins and how punk came to be.

Often focusing on British pop with his New British Canon series, his interest is in how things came to be: the intense emotive backstory of In The Air Tonight, the promise of a third British invasion implicit in Back to Life, and the many fictions of Blue Monday. But most of all he delights in educating and entertaining.

Based in Birmingham, he has lent his research skills and familiar voice to guide you through the musical past of Britain's second city. Discover with him the bands, songs, albums and venues that made Birmingham what it is today.
