derek brannon plays in two great bands + does research based in criticism and connoisseurship which sounds very interesting. his interview is maybe my favorite.

emily vavra ( @vivalavavra sorry to tag you twice in this thread!!) plays in the brilliant band lorelai + studies english literature and critical theory which is sick! listen to lorelai! http://lorelaitheband.bandcamp.com 

alex pelissero ( @spraypaintheroo) talks about challenging academic structures in a way that i find super inspiring as someone going into law school + helped start up 7th circle which is the coolest place i’ve ever been to this day: http://jsrdenver.bandcamp.com 

nick danes ( @nicholasxdanes) is in a bunch of cool bands and i won’t pretend to understand his research but i promise it’s worth reading about in the zine!!
