Music magazine from SherbertLights

Initial ideas for Music Magazine

There are different magazine available on the market, covering different genre's.

What kind of music magazine do you want to create?
The type of music magazine i'm going to do is unsigned rock (unsigned bands) and bands that have recently been signed.

Why?
Because its something different, not many magazines focus on the up and coming unsigned bands which gives me a unique selling point.  And find out whats happened since the band has been signed (Diffence when it comes to creating there music)

What will make my music magazine unique?
My magazine will help advertise, promote and give unsigned bands the appreciation that they deserve.

What will it include?
- Articals with up and coming bands
- New Music Videos
- Album Reviews
- Single Reviews
- Local events
- Adverts
- Giveaways
- Posters
- Next weeks issue
