Ryan Burleson entered music by way of punk and hardcore, departed for outer space briefly at the turn of the century thanks to Radiohead and Pink Floyd, and is now amenable to most anything as long as it's good.

Graduating with a Political Science degree from Belmont University in 2004, he's since split his time as a writer, DJ and lover of wife, dog, friends, travel and hoppy brews (in that order).

Ryan also contributes to MAGNET and the Nashville Scene.
