I am in a punk rock band called "Unwired Society". I also run a solo project but the band is my main priority. All the links are to my bands stuff, not my personal accounts.

Gear 15

I use this in my Fender Telecaster Modern Player and it sounds really great, it makes the guitar sound bright and clear. When plugged in and when the guitar is using this pickup, it has a really punchy tone and with the distortion it sounds perfect, if you want a pickup that works for punk rock music and makes the guitar sound punchy and bright and that fits well with the distortion, then this humbucker bridge pickup is the way to go. It was already in the guitar and I'm glad that my guitar came with a pickup that fits well with the punk music I play in my band. I'm glad I didn't have the change pickups to get that bright, clear, perfect and bright punk rock tone.
This is my first ever amplifier! The amp that got me started on and its what I used for the first 9 gigs with my band, it has a great tone and a few options like reverb and treble and bass. However, it sounds very amateur and if you want a professional sounding guitar, then this isn't the way to go. It's a great amp to start but I'd recommend saving up more money for an amp that sounds more punchy and more professional sounding.
I used to use Audacity but then at College they used Pro Tools 10 and I loved it so much. It was a professional looking software and it has so many options. My dad bought me Pro Tools 12 and I am always using it now for recording, I use it for recording my solo EP and my bands upcoming EP. People will give it crap but it is honestly perfect, it has everything and it is a simple layout, the mixing part is very easy because of the way they layed it out, it's also very easy to copy and paste tracks and adjust levels. It has plenty of great plugs in that can make your audio recording sound perfect and professional. Pro Tools is obviously very expensive but it is worth buying, it's very easy to record and mix with. It has many great plug ins and you can record as many tracks as you want.
It's not an SM57, but it is very close in looks and sound quality. On amazon you can get these for about £11 and although they are fairly cheap, they sound professional and can get the best out a snare, guitar, bass or toms. I personally use it for Snare, High Tom, Floor Tom, High Hat, Guitar and Bass Guitar. I always get the best quality out of them using these microphones. I was surprised how perfect they sounded for mics that costed £11. If you don't want to spend loads of money then these are the microphones to get, you can get the best sound out of your instrument with these and they give you a clear, professional tone.
This was my first electric guitar and this is what I originally used for playing gigs in my punk rock band. It has a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and three single coil, strat pickups. It sounds exactly like a strat but it's not as expensive. It is honestly a great guitar to start with and it can be great for even professionals to use. I still use it as a secondary guitar, for gigs I use it if I'm playing drop D type songs. If you want a strat sounding guitar without spending loads of money, I recommend you buy this. It's not very professional sounding but it still sounds amazing for the punk rock/pop punk tone, you could make it sound perfect if you get whatever amp, strings suit you.
Another piece of studio equipment. I bought this microphone not too long ago and I use it for Vocals mainly but I also use it for an overhead microphone on the drums and I've used it when experimenting with mic techniques on guitar. It is an amazing condenser microphone, whatever you record with it, always sounds clear and perfect. When I record vocals the quality is mind blowing and the quality when recording overheads is amazing too, it has a clear, professional sound and gets the best out of your voice and the drums. You could use it for other stuff but I personally use it for mainly Vocals and Drum Overheads
I never use this in my punk band, I've only really used it in the studio when a recording a rock sounding solo song. If you want a guitar that feeds back and makes a fuzzy sound then this is the guitar to buy! It has 2x Guitar Tech humbuckers and a 2x Tone, 2x Volume and a three-way pickup switch. It also contains a 22 rosewood fretboard.
I have this piece of equipment in my home studio. The great thing about it is that it isn't your usual audio interface, it has 10 channels and then 10 XLR to jack inputs at the back and a MIDI in and out. With some audio interfaces you only have 2 channels, well with this one you have alot more options and you aren't as limited, you could mic up an entire drum kit. I find it fairly easy to use, it was just syncing it up with pro tools that took me a bit to figure out but I managed to do it. I highly recommend this interface if you can afford it and don't want a huge mixing desk
Here is my main guitar, I used to just have a cheap Fender Squier which is great but it wasn't professional sounding. For Christmas 2015 I got this Fender Telecaster which sounds amazing when you plug it in, it really works with the punk rock music that I play in my band "Unwired Society". It has three pickups. A humbucker on the bottom, a strat single coil in the middle and a tele in the neck, it also has a maple C neck. It's known to combine the classic body shape and comfortable neck of a Telecaster with a modern pickup configuration and added comfort contour. It is honestly the best sounding guitar I have ever owned and it has such a professional sound and combined with the skinny top, heavy bottom strings. It sounds perfect for playing punk rock music.

I used this gig once for an "Unwired Society" gig but I felt this amplifier works better for rock music. In my solo project I used this amp for the more rock sounding songs like "Ghost In The Shadows" and "Wishing Well". I highly recommend this amp for rock music.

These picks are the type that aren't too thick but aren't too floppy and thin either. If you want to play punk rock music then I highly recommend these. They are the best picks to use when playing powerchords, solos and pick sliding. I use them all the time in my band "Unwired Society" and they made a huge difference to the quality of my playing in a great way.
I bought this so that when playing live I won't need a lead and I can move around as much as I want without tripping or accidentally pulling out the wire. Usually wireless stuff doesn't sound great but when you hook this up with an amp, it still sounds clear and perfect. It honestly sounds like you aren't even using a wireless. If you want a wireless system for your guitar that still makes the sound quality perfect then get one of these, ever since using it in my band Unwired Society in 2016, I've not wanted to stop using it and I don't think I ever will.
Footswitches are very handy when you have an amplifer with two channels. I use this in my Fender Champion 100 to change from clean to distorted, I can also turn an effect I set either on or off. I prefer footswitches to a pedal because having two channels, you can make sure that both channels are equally balanced out and those are the only things you have to sort out, you don't have to spend ages getting the levels right on the amp and then on the pedal. With a footswitch you only have to plug in. If you have a two channel amplifier and you don't want to waste your time with a pedal then buy a footswitch.
They are really great strings for Punk Rock music, because of the thickness of them, pick sliding sounds really awesome. If you want strings that will sound great with power chords and pick sliding then skinny top and heavy bottom strings are the way to go. Solos also sound amazing due to the thickness. I am really happy using this strings and I don't want to use any others. I use them all the time in my punk rock band "Unwired Society"
This is my main amplifier, I use it for all gigs in the punk rock band "Unwired Society", I used it for the recording of our EP "Punk Is Alive". I got it in order to achieve a professional guitar sound to go with my telecaster, I wasn't happy with my guitar sound and wanted a professional sounding amp, it is the best sounding amp I have ever owned and the best amplifier for Punk Rock. The amp is the most versatile thing I have ever owned, I could play it on a Green Day song, a Blink 182 song or a Beatles song, or a U2 song. It contains so many options, different sounds and different effects, you don't have to buy a load of pedals, it's all in the amp. You could plug in maybe two pedals but then use an effect in the amp as a third effect. Or if you only want one effect then you don't need an pedal, as long as you have a footswitch with the amp. I am happy to own this amplifer and I can't think of a more versatile, professional sounding amp that works for all genres, mainly punk rock.
