Update : Summer 2009
New look on the way
We're still working on that re-design folks! Thanks
for your patience. Everything else is status quo around
these parts, trying to bring you some of the best record
and concert reviews on the net, as well as some great
interviews and articles on the important bands of the
day.
Don't forget about our great columns, too! Hopefully
a couple more soon, as well as some new ways to get
more news on new music.

Send Any Material For Review
Consideration Directly To:
hybridmagazine.com
P.O. Box 9250
Denver, CO. 80209
We're always looking for new
writers. If you're passionate about music, film or counter
culture and would like to join the hybrid army, send
us an email.
Submission Guidelines:
At this time we ONLY accept submissions on Compact
Disc... and sometimes vinyl. Please don't send us links
to your myspace page or digital files, we just don't
have the resources to check them all out.
Feel free to send any review materials to the address
above. Be advised however, we receive a ton of records
for consideration each month and believe it or not,
someone listens to every last one. If you've read through
our reviews, hopefully it's become apparent that we
live with every record we review for a while befiore
committing anything to print.
This is precisely what separates hybrid from other
publications. As opposed to giving your record the customary
once-over treatment, we'll give it a thorough listening
and the opportunity for it to grow on us, if at first
we don't like it. We feel it's a bit disengenious to
both the artists and our readers not to do so. Some
music is just like that; sometimes it takes time to
unfold the layers to fully appreciate the artistry in
the recordings.
Keep in mind though, while we listen to every record
we receive, we do not review everything. If your record
is selected for review, our reviews editor will send
you the respective link when the review posts. While
you may feel inclined to send us follow-up notes regarding
your packages, it's really not necessary. If the music
is good (we know, your music is good) it will hopefully
get reviewed. If we find it absolutely abhorrent, be
assured, we'll say that too.
hybrid is the result of years and years of disillusionment
with tepid journalism and dealing with the "content"
business. It's comprised of a core staff of amazing
contributors who've been involved in all segments of
the media and music industry for years. It's a digital
publication for music lovers, without the pretension
and grab-assing that usually accompanies the complicated
genre of music collectively known as Indie rock. Our
intent is to cover artists who are passionate about
their music and possess undying integrity in their art.
The bottom line: we're passionate about music and it's
of no consequence to us what label you're on--or if
you're even on a label at all. Some of the most innovative
and interesting music we've received has been self-released.
We also possess an insatiable desire to discover music
that make us feel alive.
Suffice to say, either way, you can expect that
we'll be objective and honest in all of our reviews.
Count on it.
