ALARM Magazine was an American quarterly magazine based in Chicago, Illinois[1] that publishes "Music and Art Beyond Comparison." It covers emerging and mid-career musicians and artists with a focus on independent, underground, or otherwise non-mainstream music and art. It also covers fashion, film, toys, and electronic media to a lesser extent.
Editor/publisher Chris Force founded the magazine in 1995[1] in Connecticut. The magazine then moved to Boston, Massachusetts. The magazine moved to Chicago in 2002.
The magazine includes a sizable music reviews section, interviews with bands, musicians, visual and performing artists. There are also in-depth features, columnists, book and film reviews, and music and art listings. Past issues have featured Brooklyn Rappers, Polish Folk bands, Japanese pop singers, Chinese punk bands,California graffiti artists, train-hopping hobo craftsmen, and Hopi katsina artists. The magazine has also done features on well-known artists such as The Ramones, Queens of the Stone Age, Eels, Glenn Danzig, and Saul Williams.
The SF Weekly coined ALARM a "hipster journal".[2]
