Feedback Magazine is an up and coming music publication based in Lake County, IL. Making it’s debut in October of 2008, the zine comes out every other month, with a focus on local bands in the Midwest, news in the scene, and upcoming shows. Including features such as musician specific articles (columns for drummers, guitarists, etc), music and show reviews, as well as a regular DIY column, the zine is an excellent resource for local bands new and old. Out of town bands planning to tour the Midwest should be sure to ad Feedback to their list of people to contact as well. There’s even a classifieds section to help spread the word of who’s hiring in the local music scene.
Reader submissions are accepted, as are albums for review- so bands, take advantage of their request and send in your music.
With a circulation of 2,000 free issues every other month, Feedback is spreading the word in a big way, yet still managing to keep ad rates low enough for even the youngest of musicians to take advantage of.
