The Wire, a celebrated independent music magazine, faces rising costs and industry changes that threaten its survival. Celebrating its 500th issue, the magazine emphasizes the importance of its unique position in promoting lesser-known musicians. Over 40 years old, The Wire aims to continue providing a vital platform for alternative music, while calling for support from its dedicated readers and listeners to ensure its future.
Publishing a truly independent music magazine like The Wire is an ongoing struggle. We are fighting harsh rises in print and distribution costs.
For more than 40 years, the magazine has remained a unique and much loved publication, 100 percent independent and uncompromising.
It's a vital forum for musicians and artists who wouldn't get exposure elsewhere, helping to make sense of all the creative music that's out there.
In October we will publish the 500th issue of the magazine. We think that is an achievement worth celebrating.
