Justin Stercula (he/him/his)

Co-Founder & Assistant Editor
justin@musicjawn.net

Hometown: Glen Mills, PA
Current Location: Fishtown
All-Time Favorite Band: Nine Inch Nails
This Month's Rotation: Superheaven, Basement, Slothrust, Silversun Pickups, Poppy, Knocked Loose, Nine Inch Noize, IDLES
Concert Bucket List: David Bowie, which is obviously an impossibility, pending the invention of time travel tourism. RIP, king.
Most Frequented Venue: Tie between The Fillmore and Johnny Brenda's
Best Concert: Overall, Rage Against the Machine, favorite is NIN on pretty much every tour on account of my Trent Reznor fanboy-ism, best production was Beyoncé, best performance chops was Jack White.
Do You Play an Instrument? Guitar since I was 12 (December will mark 25 years of wannabe rock star-ism and sitting on dozens of demos. Wanna start a band?). I also play bass by default of playing guitar for so long, and I'm a self-taught, shitty drummer from my instrument-swapping band days. I played piano when I was a kid, but almost immediately ditched it in favor of the guitar.
First album: 'Americana' by The Offspring was the first CD that was officially "mine" and not just shared within the household. Christmas 1998 was unbeatable (shoutout to The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time). As a teeny, tiny kid, I would my spin my dad's vinyl copy of The Beatles' "The White Album" on the living room stereo and was especially fond of "Dear Prudence," "Glass Onion," and "Piggies." The first CD I remember listening to of my own accord was Queen's 'Greatest Hits.'
