Rebirth Magazine Week 3 post 1

WEEK 3:

The magazine is going to contain interviews and articles about Independent artist, Album reviews, and Instruments that artists use and why.

 Independent Music:

Underground or indie music has never been so popular than in recent years, thanks to more inexpensive technologies, strong fan support, and websites such as iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and Facebook. You can cover the growth of the indie scene, the hottest indie bands, the cross-over artists, hottest independent labels, and how to begin in indie recording.

Cosmo Pyke is an upcoming Independent 18 year-old songwriter from London, the band is a two piece but there music captures something much greater. The double spread would contain an interview pertaining to existential and musical questions.

 Album Reviews

Some conscious music enthusiasts do take time to read album reviews before they buy one. Even producers consider initial critic reviews and use them to either move the release of the entire album to later date. Single or album reviews can make or break someone else’s career. If you have the knack for music, be one of the most honest critics in the industry.

This album can be reviewed and critiqued by critics and those opinions can be published if they are fair and unbiased. The Rolling Stones haven't released anything in eons so this album review is important to rock and roll lovers. However, the Stones’ new album is as introspective as we can expect them to get in 2016—even if it they are playing songs that are nearly as old as they are. Blue & Lonesome is a covers collection that pays tribute to the post-war Chicago blues that first got the Stones rolling and inspired their name. 

 Instruments

Music lovers also count on magazines for great instruments to buy, either for leisure or work. You can cover all types of instruments and brands, review products, talk about where to get them, share new innovations or technology, or showcase the hottest instruments used by the biggest bands and artists.

To the left, the bassist for The Beatles, Paul McCartney is seen holding the bass he always used while performing. A Hoffner bass and the qualities and preference would be discussed in the magazine.

To the right we can see John Lennon hold a Rickenbacker guitar and for some reason was a very comfortable and affordable guitar for Lennon back in those days. The history and the quality of the guitar will be discussed and hopefully understood by musicians.
