Months in the making and years in the waiting, ALARM Magazine is back! We’ve been quiet on the publishing end since our release of Chromatic: The Crossroads of Color and Music last year, but we’re happy to announce the bimonthly return of the mag, now with an increased focus on rock-’n’-roll culture and lifestyle.
Launching first on the iPad (for free!) and later this year in print, the new ALARM Magazine still has all of the same in-depth features, Q&As, and reviews. But now you’ll read more about musicians and their lives, passions, and challenges, whether that’s following a band on tour, getting a music lesson on an exotic instrument, or checking out a guitarist’s comic-book collection.
Inside our July/August iPad issue, which can be downloaded for free at iTunes, you’ll read or see:
– Omar Rodriguez Lopez (of The Mars Volta) changing his dictatorial ways
– Maynard James Keenan (of Tool) at his Arizona vineyard
– Meshuggah discussing its mammoth new album
– Rodrigo y Gabriela on going vegan
– Fred Armisen’s favorite Portland spots
Plus:
– Battles and the art of the remix
– Sargent House founder Cathy Pellow redefining the management-label relationship
– High on Fire going “back to basics”
– Dan Deacon discussing his formal education
– A Place to Bury Strangers taking us inside the Death by Audio warehouse/studio
And much, much more. Please share, and come back soon for print subscriptions.
seriously folks get your free subscription to Alarm Magazine asap for my rich friends with IPADS xoxo.
If only I had an iPad…
downloading alarm magazine in itunes, listening to: tool & cartoon network. <3
so the only way I can read these articles is if I am wealthy enough to own an iPad? wth? Are you voting for Romney?
Cheap shot!
Sold out culture for the sake of marketing.
How do you figure?
Well this is all very hip isn’t it.
Can I not just read this as a PDF or even through MS Paint or some shit?
Nearly all of the bands that you like have marketing muscle behind them, my friend.
Not yet!
And music piracy keeps getting stronger.
That seems like a separate conversation…
Holy S***!
So, if my home computer is a 400$ iPad then I’m a wealthy person, but if my home computer is a 1500$ PC full of graphic boards for 3D gaming, then I’m a regular citizen. That’s very analytic.
