This article is about the music website and magazine. For the Manic Street Preachers DVD, see Louder Than War (DVD).
Louder Than War is a music and culture website and magazine focusing on mainly alternative arts news, reviews, and features. The site is an editorially independent publication that was started by the English musician and journalist John Robb in 2010 and is now co-run by a team of other journalists with a worldwide team of freelancers. There has been a print edition since 2015.
The site is built around live reviews, album reviews and interviews. In 2012, Louder Than War launched a record label[1] to promote and champion lesser known bands and artists.
Historyedit
In its first year, in November 2011, Robb was voted to win the UK Association of Independent Music "Indie Champion" award.[2]
Louder Than War created the record label Louder Than War Records in 2014, to act as a platform for bands and artists to reach a wider audience. The first release was Evil Blizzard's The Dangers Remixes, a 300-copy CD-only release without a catalogue number, each being hand numbered; the eight-track release was a remix of the at that point still-to-be-released Evil Blizzard debut, The Dangers of Evil Blizzard (LOUD001).[3] The label has since released material by King Champion Sounds, Faerground Accidents, The Nightingales, Super Besses, Get Your Gun, and The Membranes.[4]
In August 2015, Louder Than War announced they were also creating a print/magazine. The first issue of Louder Than War magazine was published by Big Cheese Publishing Ltd in autumn 2015 and followed a similar style and format to the website.[5]
Sarah Lay became editor in September 2015, with John Robb becoming Editor-in-Chief of the online and offline publications. Lay left in July 2017. The website continues to be run by Robb and Nigel Carr and a team of other section editors, journalists and contributors worldwide.[6]
In October 2021, Louder Than War Radio was launched, broadcasting 24/7 on the internet. Inaugural presenters included Nigel Carr, Gordon Rutherford, Brian McCabe, Neil Crud, Nils van der Linden and Audrey Golden.[7]
