The Songs That Raised Us – Why the Music You Loved as a Child Never Really Leaves You

I'm George Millington, an album reviewer at Earvolt, based in central London. I don't stick to one genre. I cover the commercial music industry as a whole, from chart toppers to the stuff most people have never heard of.

My first ever record was by The Beatles, picked up secondhand from a charity shop near my house. I was twelve when I found it, and I still have it sitting on my shelf today. That one purchase is the reason I fell in love with music in the first place.

When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me out playing disc golf. And if there's a dance floor nearby, I'm the one who can't resist whipping out an air guitar solo. I like to think that makes me a bit different from the rest.
