Blake Bennett Classic Rock Battles - the Limey and the Yank

Steve "the Limey" Atkins was born and raised in Manchester, England and hails from Florida, where he met Blake "the Yank" Bennett. Steve is a master stylist with experience in haircare. Blake was born in Texas, lived a lot of places, and is a tech nerd and voice actor with a home studio.

The two share a love of music and mental encyclopedias that overlap quite nicely, allowing them with each episode to pull out songs from both sides of the big pond and mock-argue about whose music is better.

The show is audio-only, with occasional live streams to Facebook or short promo fun bits on YouTube. They work for their shared venture The Limey and the Yank LLC, which produces the show.
