L.A. RECORD was called L.A.’s “most formidable music magazine” by the Los Angeles Times and is the city’s definitive music publication. L.A. RECORD was started in 2005 on a bedroom floor by Chris Ziegler, Charlie Rose, Dan Monick and Sean Carlson as a one-page weekly broadsheet dedicated to Los Angeles music of all genres and generations. After only two issues, what started as just a fun idea became the latest in the long local tradition of independent music press, connected to the philosophies of groundbreaking California zines like Bomp! and Search and Destroy, as well as contemporaries like ANP and Arthur. After almost five years, L.A. RECORD is still a totally independent grassroots print-and-web operation, run and staffed by writers and artists from across the city.
L.A. RECORD was the first publication to ever interview bands like Cold War Kids and No Age as well as the first publication ever to put artists like Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer and more on its cover. (L.A. RECORD also had Isaac Hayes’ last known interview in August 2008.) L.A. RECORD has also been lucky enough to include a roster of amazing contributing writers, photographers and artists—including many local musicians—and after five years remains free of charge to everyone everywhere, although you can still subscribe!
As of 2015, L.A. RECORD is bimonthly tabloid-style magazine, filled with original illustrations and photos, as well as exclusive interviews, a film section, a live photo section, comics, and more. .We thank you for your years of support!
