Here we have listed internet music mags, not to read but to help with further press coverage of your band. You think you have some news worthy of magazine publication, then this list is for you. The list is quite un-ordered but the more related the online indie magazine is the better their audience will recieve your band if published on their site. Have a read through each site and see what their hot topics are, what genres they post articles about and if they will accept your music. The better the link between your music, its story or genre and what the indie mag website talks about, the better the conversion rate will be with finding new visitors to your site.
Through the links you should be able to find a contact email address that is just for your bands news. Try to save your most news worthy projects, music and ideas for the magazines as these will have a better chance of going in to publication. They may have many more readers than some of the press release services and with this there is a better chance for your band to find new fans.
