Kara Simsek | Journalist & Blog Contributor

Music journalist Kara Simsek wanted to be a dentist when she grew up. Then she developed Odontophobia so had to do something else. She earnestly hoped that ‘something else’ would be reporting from war zones, but she’s since realised that the closest she’s ever gonna get to a pile of bodies is a writhing mess of K-heads in the corner of some grottbag club in east London, gasping for air like fish on a boat. She also likes kittens.
