Tom Walsh is joining the GDA team as our new news editor

Last month we announced a new position open on the GDA team, and I'm happy to announce that Tom Walsh will be joining our team as a news editor. He's been a Green Day fan for years, and is currently working on a masters in Journalism in England.

He runs his own site, Alert The Audience.co.uk, where they review albums and music across the punk/indie/rock genre.

Tom will be working with us to first get our newsletter up to date (you can sign up for that here), then will help us work on bringing more content (editorials, reviews, etc.) on GDA later on, and he'll probably poke his head around here at times as well. You can follow him on Twitter if you'd like.

Thanks to all the hundreds of folks who sent in an application - there were many incredibly qualified writers who applied to be on the team. We will be in contact with some of you very soon as we start working on our editorial section to see if some of you might still be interested in writing for GDA.
