Carl tried many instruments as a child but found he was best when hitting things so became a drummer and quickly got the nickname Total Geordie Animal due to his unique playing manner.

Previous bands: Fenrir, commercial drive, chasing red, canine feline, bone garden. Influences are John Bonham, Tommy Lee, Neil Pearlt and of course his mascot, animal from the muppets.
