Chris, who is addicted to FFXI, prefers playing a good video game or working on his computer to most kinds of social gatherings. Chris blurts: If your tired of the usual mainstream music, check out Hawkins Rise. (www.hawkinsrise.com) They're an up and coming Rock'n Roll band that can't be compared!
