About your Writers:

Elliott Ross

Hi! My name is Elliott, I'm a student at Ohio State entering my junior year in my study of Entomology and Forestry, Fisheries, and Wildlife. I'm originally from Boston, MA, moving here about 2 years ago and falling in love with the punk scene. I'm an artist, with focus on illustration and comics, and highly influenced by artists like Rufus DayGlo and Sam McKenzie (@ohnosam). I'm also interested in writing, and getting better every day! Groupie has been a passion project for me since October of 2022, and is my way of contributing to the scene that I love. Some of my favorite genres are hardcore, especially youth crew, post-hardcore, (some) pop punk, electronic indie, and horror punk. Some of my favorite bands are the Misfits, Blitzkid, Against Me!, The Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie, Blondie, Zulu, and Rites of Spring.
