    5.0 out of 5 stars Above "Radar", August 8, 2004

    This review is from: Under The Radar (Magazine)
    It may be called "Under the Radar," but this indie-rock music mag is way above average. 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. But Under the Radar also delves into the background of the music, how the bands feel about their fans, the inspiration, the side projects, and much more.

    Under the Radar also keeps an eye on the future: They cover future music releases by bands like Hot Hot Heat, the Doves, and Sparklehorse, as well as giving tabs on what other bands (Broken Social Scene) are doing in the limbo between albums. And of... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Might be the best music magazine out there, June 15, 2004
    This review is from: Under The Radar (Magazine)
    Under the Radar might be the best American music magazine around these days. The writing and photography is great, and the layout and overall quality of the mag just gets better with each issue. If you're into indie-rock then you're bound to love at least some of the bands they've covered, they seem to interview almost everybody. They squeeze so many amazing bands into each issue. My only complaint is that is doesn't come out more regularly.

    I've sampled a lot of indie-rock mags, and Under the Radar is definitely more ahead of the curve than indie magazines like Amplifier, Rockpile, Big Takeover, Resonance etc. (all worthy music mags) or than bigger mags like Rolling Stone, Spin, Filter, Blender etc. Most of my new favorite bands in the last year or two were discovered through Under the Radar, then a couple of months later I'd start reading about some of those bands in other music mags. Via Under the Radar I first discovered bands like The Thrills, The Sleepy Jackson, Mew, The... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Subscription Options, June 24, 2010

    Here's a tip. 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
