Paste Magazine is one of the fastest growing, independently published entertainment magazines in the industry, named "Magazine of the Year" at the 2006 and 2007 PLUG Independent Music Awards.
Here at Paste, we pride ourselves in being the premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music in whatever genre it might inhabit--indie rock, Triple-A, Americana, folk, blues, jazz, etc. We're happy to bring you thoughtful analysis on the best in film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture.
