Split Magazine Turns One

Split Magazine has just completed one year online, and it’s been a great year for us. Over the course of our first year, we’ve published some great interviews, reviews, and features on Split (if we may say so ourselves), including some controversial ones. We’ve tried quite a few things, both in terms of design and content, and over the past few months, we’ve found what works best for us. We’ve even started Split Radio, our very own Internet radio station to promote rock and other forms of independent music in the Indian subcontinent.

In the coming year, we’re going to build on what we’ve achieved so far — suffice to say that there’s a lot of cool stuff coming your way in 2007.

We’d like to thank all our loyal readers who have been with us through our first year, and also welcome all our new readers to the site — we hope you like the magazine enough to become regulars here. As always, we’d love to hear what you have to say about the content featured on both Split Magazine and Split Radio — if there’s anything you’d like to see on the Web site, please e-mail us at edit@split-magazine.com. If you’re interested in becoming more than just a reader and would like to contribute to the magazine, click here for details.

   Happy Anniversary! Split is one of more honest music magazines I have seen, keen to discuss music and all that is influenced by and influences, but not pandering to the “market”.

   One of the reasons I consider it honest is because it criticises musicians and musical trends and doesn’t just criticise them because the writer feels like it but gives reasons for why they think a so-called great band is - or has become - a sell-out. Also, it allows people who disagree with it - sometimes rudely (”fuck” and “anal” seem to be popular words) - to comment.

   Also, please do try to keep the writing free of cliches and “cool” terms. This magazine has avoided that trap better than many others but still.
