California based rock-and-roll magazine was an alternative magazine, first published in 1992 that was known for its experimental exploration into typography and graphic design in its layouts, as well as its approach to advertising and choice of content, often introducing artists such as Bjork, Radiohead and Beck before any other magazine had heard of them. Unfortunately the magazine ceased to exist in 2000 but it was a forerunner in experimental magazine publishing and though sometimes (ok, often) unreadable, its covers, spreads and layouts are so visually exciting and expressive it really doesn't matter to me.
I think its a brilliant magazine to draw inspiration from for this punk/grunge alternative aesthetic and hand-generated feel.
