Who is Tyler Smith?

Editorial
Written By Tyler

Hey there! My name is Tyler, and I'm a writer for Click Roll Boom.

Music, Films and Gaming have played a major part in everyone's life and I believe sharing our experiences with the culture around us is the most powerful tool the internet has given us. My Digital Marketing and musical background provides me an analytical and introspective viewpoint to the media I enjoy, and I hope to share it with you!

Music:

Top 5 bands/Artists?

  1. The Beatles

  2. Vangelis

  3. MF DOOM

  4. David Bowie

  5. Roxy Music

Guilty pleasure?

  • I have no guilt! Maybe Mariah Carey but only if you catch me singing along.

First gig you went to/best gig you’ve been to?

  • First - I can remember clearly was Carnival of Madness - Black Stone Cherry and Halestorm. Great sound, great venue!

  • Best - is a real hard one, each one is a different experience. Probably Suede @ O2 Academy - Leeds, such a performance!

Unrated band you think everyone should know?

  • Honestly the answer changes every other week. Right now it's either Neutral Milk Hotel or The Greeting Committee.

Films:


Top 5 films?

  1. Blade Runner

  2. American Psycho

  3. Breakfast Club

  4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off

  5. My Neighbor Totoro

First film you saw at the cinema?

  • I can't remember! I remember going to see Hellboy II: The Golden Army when I was quite young with my mum. Think that was more of a her thing though...

Favorite foreign language film?

  • Does End of Evangelion count? I'm a big fan of French New Wave but that film had a massive impact on me!

Who would play you in a film adaptation of your life?

  • Obviously Ryan Gosling, practically a spitting image.

Top 5 video games?

  1. Fallout New Vegas

  2. Advance Wars

  3. Persona 3

  4. Half Life

  5. Burnout Paradise

Favourite games console?

  • PS3. Great library of games and the PowerPC architecture was a stroke of engineering genius that went sadly underutilised due to its complexity.

You're attending a gaming convention who do you cosplay as?

  • Baba from Baba is You. I like a challenge.

You’re having a dinner party, you can invite 5 celebrities past or present who would you choose?

  • Harrison Ford

  • Diogenes

  • Johnny Rotten

  • John Lennon

  • Samuel L Jackson

I'd charge £5 a ticket for the world's longest argument.

Tyler

Hey there! I'm Tyler, 19 and outside of writing for CRB I'm an SEO & CMS Executive at a car leasing company. Lot of boring web development stuff basically!

If you've taken a peek at my 5 songs for the month at any point you can probably guess my taste in media is all over the place, but if there's anything that's my favourite it's probably Star Trek. My favourite genre overall is probably New Wave but I listen to pretty much anything that gets thrown my way.

On a weekend you'll probably find me watching F1 and hopefully covering some more gigs in the near future, I've done some journalism stuff outside of CRB but most of my writing is creative work or last minute page content for a new car model. I'm based in Wakefield primarily but Leeds is only a train away when they're not striking.
