Meet the Writers
Jared Phillips: Being a sophomore Journalism student at Temple University, I have found that it is pretty important to be constantly writing to keep improving upon your skills. It helps when you are writing about something that you love. I would have to say it started when I attended my first concert back when I was just 12 years old. I got to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers for my 12th birthday, and needless to say, they immediately became my favorite band. That 'it' I am referring to is my love for music. Since then it has been my life goal to absorb myself in as much music as my ears can stand. Over 30 live shows and 40 albums purchased later, it is safe to assume that my music taste has grown to be quite grand over the past few years. But like any real music fan, I am always waiting for the next great album to buy or the next big band to come out. My hope is that maybe I can even give your ears something fresh to listen to.
Kevin Seifert: I am a 19 year old freshmen currently pursuing a degree in marketing at Penn State University. I have always found enjoyment in writing, however I feel as if my best works comes when I write about things I am most passionate about. That being said, music is one of my biggest passions. Since I was younger, I have loved listening to music more than anything else. Although my taste in music has changed so much over the years, I have really come to love and appreciate the alternative, indie, and folk genres. I hope this blog gives you the chance to get an insight into my musical taste and maybe even help you discover a new band or two.
