About

Double Negative is an independent, volunteer run music blog. We strive to create an open and inclusive platform for people who love music, and to cover and promote the best and most unique independent artists making it. Since its inception in Brooklyn in 2019, Double Negative has grown into a multi-city initiative, with writers and photographers based in New York, Boston, DC, and Chicago. We’re not currently accepting submissions for coverage, but feel free to reach out if you're interested in contributing or have any other questions.

Our Team
Our Team

David McDevitt

David is a writer, photographer, and contributing editor to Double Negative. He frequently tries to sing Talking Heads songs at karaoke bars with coworkers, to the chagrin of all in attendance. David loves synths and samplers - but is always excited to hear about niche indie pop waves from the early 90s. He is also the lord commander of the Double Negative Chicago office, and would be excited to talk about all of your favorite dives in the city.

Sarah Masessa

Sarah is a content strategist and contributing editor to Double Negative living in Brooklyn. When she's not diving head first into the latest and greatest emo tunes, she's writing sketch comedy and perfecting her standup set by performing across the concrete jungle. Reach out if you require a Guy Fieri lookalike at your next social gathering, or if you know of a killer punk act that deserves a feature.

Reid Flynn

Reid Flynn

Reid is a copywriter & contributing editor to Double Negative living in Boston. His taste in music runs one part 90s indie, one part emo twang, all parts "huh, that does kind of sound like Modest Mouse." Hit him up if you feel the same way.

Camden Phalen

Camden Phalen

Camden is a web designer, writer, and photographer based in Brooklyn. His lack of self control when trying to building his photo portfolio resulted in something much grander: a full music blog. He loves catchy hooks, tastefully lo-fi drum samples, and any song that can be described as "insane."
