Kkrusty (Mike Taylor) began composing songs on the Nintendo GameBoy in early 2008. His music mixes sometimes sweet, sometimes epic melodies, pounding, danceable rhythms, (not to mention the occasional 80's hair-metal cover) and never fails to turn any room into a frothing mess of nuclear gleeful madness!
