ASTRID KUTOS
MUSIC COLUMNIST
(she/they) I'm a 20 year old biology student at the University of Vienna and spend every free minute listening to music, reading about music or writing about it. I love finding new music (somewhat proud creator of 200+ playlists), reviewing records and shows, and getting to talk to people about the stories behind their records and anything else I can think of.
ROB LUCCHESI
MUSIC COLUMNIST
Nice to meet, hope y’all are enjoying the shows as much as we are! I’m a 20 year-old writer-hopeful from Charlotte, NC, now studying journalism up in New Jersey, with a minor in rock n’ roll! I grew up in between the city and all that country-bumpkinness you can expect from the South, but that’s never stopped us from picking each other up and pushing for a greener, meaner, and more accepting tomorrow. Y’know what they say, man, the revolution will be televised, but not before we bring you the soundtrack.

TUANA OZCAN
ILLUSTRATOR
Hey! I’m Tuana. I’m a 20-year-old student currently living in Istanbul. I love photography, cinema, graphic design, and of course..music! My pretentiousness in high school led me to be a last.fm user, discover underground artists, and follow the music magazines. I spent most of my money on film festivals and concerts. I love both graphic design and music so I am so happy and excited to be illustrating for a music magazine! Some of my favorite artists are Big Thief, Sleater-Kinney and Elliott Smith.

Giliann Karon is a Washington DC based writer and self-described "Tumblr veteran." Originally from Cleveland, she spent her most formative years obsessively compiling themed playlists and immersing herself in rich participatory subcultures, which gave her an astute sense of media literacy and an eclectic group of friends from across the country. She's committed to using digital media to continue elevating emerging artists and foster engaged online communities. When she's not at a concert, she can be found rustling through the produce selection at her local farmer's market.

ABBY UTLEY
MUSIC COLUMNIST
Abby Utley eats, sleeps and breathes music.
She makes her smoothies using guitar strings and a drumstick. She counts piano keys to go to sleep because her biggest fear is becoming a sheep. She likes seeing live shows because she’s inhaling the same air as her favorite artists through her nose.
Abby is someone who likes to lose herself in music. She believes music is one of the most powerful and inclusive art forms to exist. She will certainly spend the rest of her life exploring its fascinating versatility.
