Indie Music Magazines ... do we need another one?!


Question:

Indie Music Magazines ... do we need another one?

I started an online indie music magazine a couple years ago, and within a year, it went around the world. Pretty amazing, since i didn't know that there was that much of a demand for it. It's been on hold due to lack of funds, but I want to restart it. I kind of have a few questions in respect to that:

1) Does Canada need a new/better publication for indie bands?
2) Who do I approach about publishing my magazine and how would I approach them about it? (I really want to take this into print!)
3) Is it too optimistic for me to want my publication to be the Rolling Stone of the indie music world?
4a) Did you ever visit www.soundline.ca when it was up?
4b) What'd you think?


Answers:

I don't have answers for all of your questions but I do believe that Canada AND the rest of the world, need better publications for indie bands.

Usually I buy SPIN magazine which promotes a lot of indie bands, but then as you go through the pages, they always slip some rap or hip hop in there and it's very annoying...they actually had Beyonce on the cover. YUCK.

Anyway...I do strongly believe that we need a Rolling Stonesque magazine that dedicates all it's pages to music, and be it indie bands at that. No slip-ins!

No, I did never visit soundline.ca I never even heard of it.

I think indie bands are becoming very strong this year, hopefully, they'll take over soon.

I think you should keep being as optimistic and you can, a positive attitude will take you anywhere! Keep strong! Work hard! And let me know when your magazine is back out. :-)

Cheers!
