Hi, my name is Olivia W-B. I do vocals in the mathcore band Rong; play guitar in the skronk metal band Hairbrush; write, sing and play guitar in the avant-prog band Other Joliah; write, conduct and play guitar in a new sextet called P.V.H.P.; and also play acoustic guitar solo and in a trio with clarinet and upright bass. I fell in love with DIY music scenes in my teens and then anarchist organizing in my twenties. I've dedicated most of my life to questions directly related to my experiences within them, like - Can art resist being folded back into capitalism? Are subcultures intrinsically doomed to repeat the ills of the larger society they exist within? "Cultural production" versus "art for art's sake"? I have a lot of thoughts about all of these things. I hope someday I can share something meaningful about them. In the meantime, I'm open to conversation. I also paint. I live in Massachusetts with my colony of 42 hissing cockroaches.
