Editorial: July 2013

Well we are now past the halfway point in the year and so far it has been a very enjoyable ride. But I don't think it's too soon to start thinking about the future, not when a group like the Mediaeval Baebes is announcing their end of year plans. So with that in mind, we're taking stock and looking ahead to year number two of Intravenous Magazine.

One thing we're aiming for to kick off next year with is a free downloadable compilation album, which I'm hoping will become an annual tradition. The aim is to make it available indefinitely from our own Bandcamp page. We'll be looking for exclusive new songs, demos and remixes from new and exciting acts from around the globe.

We'll be including a PDF booklet with the album that will include biographical information and hyperlinks for every band and label featured. And as it will be a downloadable album there are no overheads for CD printing so it will be a nice and affordable promotional opportunity. So if you're interested in your band contributing to the album, please get in touch via the form on the contact page.

In other news the poll on the Intravenous Mag facebook page is still going as we need more opinions! This first one asks the music buying public what their favourite format is to buy, and the music makers what they sell the most of. So please, for the sake of informed research, vote and comment!

Finally, if you are interested in writing for IVM please direct your attention to the tab at the top of the site marked 'Writing For IVM'. Especially if you are a film buff.

Once again, make sure you have these links in your favourites:
