Founder, Editor, Photographer

Hi everyone! I am 24 years old, and I live in a small town in Iowa. I started my concert photography journey in 2022 but my love for photography started at a young age. In 2016 I was able to attend my first concert, and I haven’t looked back since. Some of my favorite bands are Twenty One Pilots, Bad Omens, and Movements.

Hey there! I’m 25 years old and I’ve been a music lover ever since I was a kid. Since then, I’ve only branched out further into the creative world. Recently, I received my bachelor’s in English and have an adoration for creative writing and gothic literature. Ruckus Magazine is the place where I get to blend two of my favorite things— music and writing! Some of my favorite bands are Greta Van Fleet, The Kilans, and Krooked Kings.

Hi! I am 23 years old and I am from New Jersey, but now live in DC. Recently, I graduated with my bachelors in Journalism and Music with a concentration in sound engineering. I have been playing music and attending concerts since I could remember, but my love of emo music and metalcore deepened in middle school and high school when I started being able attend heavier shows. My entire life, I strived to find as many ways as possible to fill my time with music, including performing, writing, and currently being a music teacher. Some of my favorite bands are Bad Omens, Rain City Drive and I See Stars.
