About Ian T. McFarland

Ian started getting into music in his Kansas middle school, when he thought that owning a blink-182 CD made him better than all of his classmates. His first concert was Keane, but he doesn't like to admit it. When he's not reviewing concerts, he spends more time at the movies than is healthy. He lives in Los Angeles and works full time editing video.
