In the days when we seem in danger of being swamped by the sheer volume and sometimes mediocrity of online music journalism, its refreshing to see a new music magazine which has quality writing, independent music and high production values at its core.
Bearded Magazine is the baby of the enterprising Gaz Main a recent addition to Moseley’s ever thriving coterie of interesting individuals, the mag is printed on a thick, luxurious paper and is well illustrated, with the text offering a pleasing blend of cynicism, humour and blatant enthusiasm for some of the better music around at the moment.
An interesting array of festivals, records, bands and artists (some unbearded) are covered and its a monthly magazine, so watch out for the next issue at the end of October, or pre-order from their website.
