SMD Writers

Bio Picture: 

Running a design firm can be hard work, sometimes you need an outlet. Sitting at his desk all day, Kristian listens to a lot of music. One day he decided to spread the word on all of the bands he likes by starting this website. He tries as best he can to put out the occasional review or musical update between newsletter issues, cd-sleeves, logos and business cards.

Now attending the GDMFA program at MICA in baltimore, he still hears a lot of music, but finds it harder to get around to posting anything. Kristian is looking for cool venues to go see shows in old B'more, so if you can help him out, hook it up.

Bio Picture: 

Drew got into music when he was a wee lad, and now finally has an outlet to share all the mindless ramblings and little quips about bands and other junk that he stumbles across.

Currently residing in NYC and working as an illustrator, he's exposed to a lot of great eastern sea-board sounds. And though he's too poor to make it out to as many shows as he'd like to, he still tries to do his part. He currently shaves only twice a week, and wears a tie even less.

Bio Picture: 

Karsten spends his week writing about art as the resident fellow at a certain Chicago museum. But long before he settled down to those kind of pursuits he cut his teeth on his parents' record collection and put in his time with a handful of instruments. Even now he's gotta think about music as much as anything else.

Starting soon, at this very website, he will offer a weekly encounter between two songs. Consider it an idiosyncratic search for odd resonances and an invitation to listen closely to a couple tracks that didn't realize they were mates. From time to time he may surface with other sorts of murmurs too.
