Stuffed with insightful articles, relevant news and outstanding bands, Under the Radar is a must-have for fans of good indie-pop, rock and blow-your-mind alternative. Don't look for greasy gossip or trends -- just music, music and music.It starts off with some smaller interviews and Q&As, which still manage to be insightful as they interview people like Stephen Malkmus and Interpol. Then it's on to the major articles -- in-depth studies of the bands and the individual people.

Subscribe to this rag directly through Under the Radar's website and you'll get to choose from a selection of free CDs. These aren't compilations, but actual albums from new indie artists. In many cases, the CD costs more than the subscription, which is still a meager $12.50. There's no sense in purchasing this magazine through Amazon and losing out on the bargain.Current CD selections include: Bright Eyes/Neva Dinova: One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels Caribou: Swim Casio Kids: Topp Stemning P� Lokal Bar Dr. Dog: Shame, Shame Gayngs: Relayted Here We Go Magic: Pigeons Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings: I Learned the Hard Way Jamie Lidell: Compass Steve Mason: Boys Outside Plants and Animals: La La Land |
