i'm Ash (they/them), and this is my digital headquarters for all my personal projects. i'm a junior journalism student at the University of Maryland with a passion for underground music and unique stories. here you can find my various forms of creative output, including my writing, photography and zines.

i host a radio show called RAGE ROOM on Thursdays from 1-2 p.m. on WMUC 90.5., the University of Maryland radio station. i play hardcore, grindcore, powerviolence, digital hardcore/cybergrind, weird electronic stuff and whatever i'm feeling that particular week.

in addition to my own work, i also run multiple archives: umdcore, an archive of hardcore and metal flyers, videos, photos and stories from around the University of Maryland; and beautifulrune, a collaborative blog posting old band photos from the depths of Flickr.

other than that ... i like playing video games, sewing, crocheting, and going to shows around my beautiful hometown of the DMV area.

feel free to email me with any questions or hit me up on instagram.
