Rock Alternative Indie Post-Punk Shoegaze

Joe Morrison has been writing about music for over fifteen years. A former touring guitarist turned critic, he brings a musician's ear and a writer's sensibility to every review. His writing has appeared in Pitchfork, NME, and The Quietus. When he's not dissecting guitar tones, he's probably arguing about Radiohead on the internet.
