Things Can Change is a blog made by me, Aaron Westlake, I am a singer/songwriter from Queensland, Australia. Some of my biggest influences are: Butch Walker, Paul Westerberg, The Goo Goo Dolls, Lifehouse and Dashboard Confessional. In 2012 I joined the band “Arcade Vandals” from that time on we have been playing gigs all around the Fraser coast region playing covers and our own original music. We are currently busy in the studio recording our Debut EP.
