Angelica Cataldo’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm a writer and journalist with more than ten years of experience covering culture and entertainment. I got my start at my high school paper under an amazing advisor. I had a weird pivot into other industries and didn't love it, so now I am back in media and here to stay. If I'm not writing, you can find me gaming, working on my book, adding to my vinyl collection or backstage headbanging somewhere probably.

|
By Angelica Cataldo Verified
| Grunge Verified
The '60s and '70s produced some of the greatest music that defined rock history, but also gave listeners some of the longest rock songs in history. Then punk rock came along and went in the complete opposite direction, still hitting their point like a sledgehammer but doing so in a famously brief period of time. Bands said what they needed to say in short order, and sometimes in under a minute, which is something the attention spans of today might appreciate now more than ever.
