  • Bruce Wilson
    Reviewer & Playlister
    Bruce Wilson was born in the American south and after innumerable global relocations, he now resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. Bruce grew up listening to his parents’ copy of The Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat and quickly moved on to The Stooges, David Bowie, and The Dead Boys. These days he is a writer and sings for the Vancouver based band “Sunday Morning” who released their epymonious debut album in early 2017. He’d like to have a dog but his apartment is too small.

  • Thomas Ockenden
    Reviewer
    Residing in a sleepy town somewhere in the rural wasteland between London and Brighton in England; Tom has spent the last 18 months practising as a Social Worker. Keen for a change in pace, Tom has taken to writing. An advocate for the restorative power that Music and Film can have he has started writing reviews for his own blog. He is passionate about storytellers and finding stories that can be told from even the most mundane of human experiences. For The Love of Bands will be his avenue to explore this.
  • Gem Stokes
    Reviewer
    19 year old vegan studying English lit at Queen Mary University London. Aspiring music journalist and/or foreign news correspondent. I'm usually best found at a gig or with my heart in a book.
  • Stefanos Leontsinis
    Playlister
    CERN scientist from Greece, based in Zurich and musician. Following the underground and mainstream post-punk scene for quite a bit! Always keen on finding new bands, listening to fresh sounds!
  • Ben Karklins
    Interviewer & Reviewer
    Ben 'Banjo' Karklins resides in the heart of Melbourne's thriving live music scene, nestled in the void between Collingwood & Fitzroy. Ben divides his time evenly between 3 musical projects; 'TAPES', 'Dead Before Breakfast', and his solo project 'Ben Avery'. If he isn't writing music, he's almost certainly writing about it. Ben's passion for the local industry drives his desire to always be creating and collaborating with other artists, and this same passion is what drove him to start writing for 'ForTheLoveOfBands'.
