Author Snapshot

Adam Brent Houghtaling

From the author:

In my early teens, the capes and tights of my comics-bred youth fell away, replaced with an explosion of sound from Guns 'n' Roses, Black Sabbath, S.O.D; INXS, The Descendents, and The Misfits. In short order I began playing bass and started a staple-bound fanzine (Chinchilla Smile) to celebrate my favorite indie-pop bands. Music has been a passionate part of my life and depressing music makes me particularly happy, and I routinely sweep hours away in record stores and online looking for new artists to feed this miserable addiction. I'm a singer and a songwriter and have written for Prefix Magazine and was responsible for music coverage across 8 cities while an editor at AOL CityGuide. I have been an editor for over ten years and was most recently the online editorial director at Gourmet.com, the online extension of Gourmet Magazine.
