What Is The Music Mag?
The Music Mag is the go to place for all things music. We believe that music is much more than just background noise but something that can tell a story, communicate and express emotions beyond words. We aim to share and bring light to music old and new with our music reviews that focus on both live events and new releases. Our blog covers all genres and topics relating to music ranging from underground artists with an interesting backstory to the latest music news on whats happening with your favourite artists, genres and festivals. So have a look around, The Music Mag is a place for all lovers of music. Modern music has become very diluted with cookie cutter pop music thats pumped out by labels. This has made us massive fans of the alternative music scene, enjoying everything alt. Alternative rock, alternative indie or alternative metal, we love it all.
