We couldn't get any of the big magazines to deal with indie artists yet we were dealing with artists who were making incredible music and had a lot to say...the answer? Make our own magazine and give the most experimental and important indie artists a forum to expose their music and voice their opinions. Two years later the Media Guide flipped to The Alternate Root and now speaks to almost 30,000 readers industry wide each issue. It's ever expanding and completely interactive. Each issue features the best in music, video, reviews and feature stories. We also include the syndicated Living Room and Motel Time Again series with acoustic performances and interviews with the biggest names in the format. The Alternate Root is about music, culture, film, photography
