Writer and photographer Jason Lent has been covering music his entire life. Raised on MTV, he remains convinced that Duran Duran and Thompson Twins will be forever underrated. He has written for Hard Rock Cafe, Drunken Werewolf, and Daily Duranie. Former interview guests include Imagine Dragons, Dandy Warhols, and The Regrettes. In 2010, he toured North America with Cowboy Junkies documenting the experience and was interviewed by the New York Times. He has also played in bands that weren't very good.
