In Alphabetical Order…

Abel Beatty (he/him)

Musician and journalist based in Boston, MA. Writing about music does a lot of heavy lifting for my personality. Grateful to be living right inside one of the best local music scenes. I do a lot of work with the Hassle’s calendar.

Music writer & editor from Boston. Aka “Nicole” or “Malte”. Into music & philosophy and their intersection. Contact me about Hassle music writing and editing at [email protected]

Andy Dion (he/him)

I’m an editor and contributor of the music section from the North Shore. I love music even though my favorite genre– hardcore punk– physically hurts. Aside from writing, I make music, ride my bike fast enough to get seriously injured, and watch lots and lots of movies.

Oscar here—I grew up deep in Templeton, MA, and currently dwell in the hills of Somerville.
