Cool Magazine Alert: Bang Magazine
Finding good mainstream rock and roll magazines can be a real chore. The Rock and Roll Report has highlighted some really cool web based and print magazines that are amazing but definitely outside the realm of the typical shopping mall magazine buying public but there some good ones that you can find at places like Barnes and Nobles or Chapters. One such magazine is Bang. Based in the UK, Bang is a pretty cool print magazine that has its moments. With the motto “It’s only rock ‘n’ roll” Bang has the typical UK attitude and covers all of today’s rock and roll with aplomb and their website features a pretty cool message board/blog that you can vent on if you wish. The issue this month features a story on the rise of Christian rock! I love those kinds of articles. At least it doesn’t feature a fashion spread, yet.
UPDATE! It looks like Bang has gone poof! Too bad.
Later.

Looks like Bang went kaboom. No issues on the rack, no website. Guess that’s what they get for writing about good music and expecting to actually make money.

I’ve been searching the net for a good Britpop / Indie Rock magazine, and I came across Bang. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t find its website etc etc, then on here it says it has finished. I was wondering if anyone knew of any Britpop / Indie Rock magazines that are published in Britain?
Cheers if anyone can help!
