Top Document: UK Goth Mini-FAQ Previous Document: 9. What other festivals are of interest to UK goths? Next Document: 11. Can any books on the scene be recommended? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Kaleidoscope <http://www.myspace.com/kaleidoscopemagazine> is probably the most well known publication from within the UK goth scene. Focused primarily on music, it has good coverage of darkwave, EBM, industrial and gothic rock; there's also a degree of fashion and lifestyle coverage. Kaleidoscope is published every quarter, and is stocked by a number of alternative retailers, including Resurrection Records and Grave News. TWF Magazine <http://www.twfmagazine.com/> is another quarterly publication, and carries reviews of albums, live performances and clubs, along with band interviews and sections on lifestyle and fashion. It is available up and down the UK; see their website for a full list of stockists. Unscene <http://www.animespresso.com/unscene/> is a relatively new magazine, presently published every six months. They carry a large number of band interviews, along with reviews, alternative photography and whatever else captures their interest. Unscene can be ordered by cheque, PO or via PayPal (details on website). Fanzines are also popular, but by their very nature it's difficult to know which ones are in circulation at any given time. They can often be picked up at gigs. Despite their lower production qualities, many exhibit a humorous irreverence that other publications can't match. One example is Bubblegum Slut Fanzine <http://www.myspace.com/bubblegumslutzine>, which is covered in fake fur(!) and covers glam, punk and goth. Most of the mainstream music press continues to ignore goth, as it did throughout the 1990s. Rock Sound tends to be an exception to this rule, and seems to have a genuine interest in independent alternative music. Terrorizer and Classic Rock also have some limited goth coverage. The NME, meanwhile, becomes more irrelevant with every passing year; they generally do a clueless "goth revival" piece every six months or so.
