Bay Area Buzz
is the new, all-music resource for the active Bay Area music community. An independently owned and operated free bi-monthly magazine, Bay Area Buzz is chock full of information and insight on independent bands that matter covering everything from indie-pop to hip hop to stoner-metal and anything in between with a special focus on local artists. Every issue contains numerous features on bands, reviews of live shows, concise and thoughtful reviews of new releases, as well as interviews with pertinent local industry folks and specials on various issues pertaining to the scene. Our readers span the gamut from the casual music fan to the nightly-gigging musician, the local record store clerk to the college kid sifting through the bins. Buzz's mission is to spotlight the best new bands, encourage our readers to support them, and to facilitate the cross-pollination between the underground and the mainstream.
