What's already out there?

There are no actually "Multi-Genre Music Magazine" However i did find a website called Musique Machine; they are an online "magazine" style website although when i was looking it looked more like a blog as it had information about different types and things like MP3's and forums but there wasn't a great deal of articles and it didn't have the layout of a magazine. They did have a radio transmission from the website which i thought was a very good idea and could potentially be a media that would be most suitable to go with my product. Their magazine seemed a little too intense and serious; i wanted to be showing different genres in a fun way rather than taking it too seriously.

I also came across another amateur "online magazine" BeepBoxx which again to me looked just like a blog; it had a variety of interviews and reviews which i liked, especially the reviews the use of album. track and gig reviews really give you an insight into how the bands perform recorded and live, i could use this type of thing in my magazine.

I did find some information on a magazine that apparently had been printed called M Music & Musicians that was planned to be printed 8 times a year; that would be a multi-genre magazine However after searching everywhere for it i couldn't find a copy anywhere and the website link i found for it didn't work.

To conclude there are currently NO printed Multi-genre music magazines.
