Oliver Crook

Oliver Crook

Managing Editor Ollie Crook (they/them) is a Montréal-based journalist who has been covering music, in one form or another, for over ten years. But even way before that, as an oddball trans kid who never saw themselves in the world, they used music to create a space for themselves that didn’t exist anywhere else. Whether that was crafting playlists (thanks Limewire!) or collaging band pictures from Kerrang, their understanding of self has come hard-earned through the arts. Find more of their writing (and the occasional cat photo!) at https://ourtransmission.substack.com/
