Under the Radar is a quarterly indie music magazine that covers up and coming and emerging artists, as well as more established bands. The magazine reaches 155,000+ young and hip readers and is distributed throughout North America, Europe and elsewhere.
Under the Radar has taken its famous compilation digital. At least four Sonicbids artists will be selected by Under the Radar for inclusion in its newly-improved sampler. The sampler will make free downloads available to its 20,000 unique visitors per month and stickers will be included with 60,000 print issues pointing readers towards the sampler.
Additionally, selected artists will receive editorial in the print mag and/or Under the Radar website.
Under the Radar mainly covers indie rock and indie pop and is most interested in artists from those genres. Although most of its features are on indie rock bands, Under the Radar also has special subsections in the album reviews section devoted to Americana/alt-country, electronica, hip-hop, jazz, reissues, and singles/EPs. The magazine is also interested in shoegazing, space-rock, and soul groups. The magazine generally does not cover these genres: hardcore, metal, punk, hard rock, pop-punk, mainstream pop, smooth jazz, mainstream country, classical, blues, and new age.
Some core Under the Radar bands include: Beirut, Feist, Tegan and Sara, Modest Mouse, Bjork, Deerhunter, Vampire Weekend, Jens Lekman, The Shins, MGMT, Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, Rilo Kiley, Spoon, Interpol, Jarvis Cocker, Band of Horses, Devendra Banhart, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem, and many others.
