"Tabloid Magazine" was the second single taken from Australian rock group, The Living End's third studio album, Modern ARTillery. It was released in February 2004,[2] spending 4 weeks in the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and peaking at No. 57.[3] It appeared at No 66 on Triple J's Hottest 100 poll for 2003.[4] "Tabloid Magazine" was the first single to be released from the album in the UK.
It features a live version of the classic "All Torn Down", plus acoustic versions of "Who's Gonna Save Us?" and "What Would You Do?" and a previously unreleased track, "No Reaction".
On the title track frontman Chris Cheney writes, "I have a weak spot for these mags. I am fascinated at the social preoccupation with reading about other people’s lives. They lure you in and become difficult to put down. I think it has a new wave kinda edge".[5]
The video was directed by Todd Sheldrick, and filmed in Sydney during the band's national Modern Artillery tour in 2003.[6]
