No Title Magazine

This glossy, alternative music magazine usually has cover designs to catch anyone’s eye if you already happen to be hanging out in one of Leeds fine music venues. It is a free magazine with reviews, interviews and the articles on the music scene around Leeds. And its really good! Not only does it inform the readers, it entertains us too! They have all the latest gossip on things like the line up for Leeds Festival, Moor Music Festival, new nights at Subculture, gigs on at the Brudenel Social… I could go on. You can find it in any of the independent record shops, — Crash, Jumbo — pubs like The Chemic and The Fenton and bars — North Bar, Baby Jupiter and Dry Dock. Its available in about 50 places so you should stumble across one soon enough. And did I mention its FREE?

I remember these guys starting out and it was brilliant. They were like a rebel music magazine, battling it out against Sandman et al, who we all used to find massively boring. We always used to read the music magazines when I worked in a bar, mostly to read recent band reviews, but more mostly to look at the pictures and pass the time in the quiet hours.
No Title is just that little bit different though. Actually reading the opinions within did not make me want to drink the bar dry with boredom — they were actually fun, well written and encouraging when it came to bands I didn’t know about. Also, their graphics and design are second to none — truly fantastic and exciting to view. They’ve had more interesting title pages featuring local artists than I could count — let’s just say *lots* for argument’s sake. If you come across a copy pick it up, you’ll find it’ll be a real keeper.
No Title is vibrant, colourful, well written and relevant to all music lovers in Leeds.
