Bio
Ryan Roullard
Are you kidding? Andy's the most qualified music writer around. Combine a knee-jerk wit that could cut a razorblade in half with a photographic/encyclopedic knowledge of all things rock'n'roll. Add cowboy boots and let simmer for 20 minutes. All joshin' aside, Andy nearly single-handedly wrote all the product copy over at www.bugera-amps.com. Andy's keen wordsmithing allows him to effortlessly fine-tune his work to any target demographic; he is equally at home writing clinical technical passages or arranging prosaic marketing puffery. Despite his jovial demeanor, the man's understanding of grammar and style is no joke. Strunk and White and Gassaway.
