Staff Meeting: Eric Bodrero

antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better. Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff person's new profile page. So let's begin and get to know Eric Bodrero a little better.

Eric (a.k.a. irk) is from Phoenix, AZ and has been with antiMusic for 1 year, three months. The first CD he purchased was an early Thompson Twins record and his first concert was Billy Joel*. He lists The Cure, Ministry/Lard, The Smiths/Morrissey, They Might Be Giants, Pavement, The Church, Boards of Canada, Grandaddy, New Order and Oingo Boingo as his Top 10 Favorite artist. His musical pet peeves are "Underground bands that I like that go big and garner a huge (usually mainstream) audience. Coldplay is a band that comes to mind in that regard. Or, bands I like that get thrust into car commercials. ". His favorite parts of antiMusic are "day in rock, waiting for my awesome new review to appear, only to read it and question just what the hell I was thinking. ", click the full story link to learn more about Eric and discover what he equates Metallica's St. Anger to and a lot more!- Click Here for the Full Story
