Under the Radar
Under the Radar is a quarterly indie music magazine that reaches audiences across North America and beyond, proudly declaring itself as "The solution to music pollution." Founded in 2001 by the husband-and-wife duo of Mark Redfern, a writer, and Wendy Lynch Redfern, a photographer, this independent publication is well-regarded for its comprehensive and engaging interviews with both well-known and emerging bands, accompanied by distinctive and artistic photo shoots. The magazine provides insightful and often witty articles that delve deeper than just a band's primary influences, frequently featuring exclusive photography. Notably, Under the Radar conducted the final interview and photo shoot with the late Elliott Smith in 2003, and it gained recognition for its music and politics issues in 2004 and 2008 (known as The Protest Issues), which included charity auctions supporting organizations like War Child. Aiming to be a trendsetter, Under the Radar interviews promising young artists long before they hit the mainstream spotlight, playing a key role in the rise of bands such as Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend, making it the first nationally distributed print magazine to feature either group. The publication was also an early advocate for artists like Bright Eyes, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, and many others, and it was the first American magazine to interview international acts such as The Duke Spirit and Friendly Fires. Each issue contains up to 200 reviews covering a variety of cultural releases, including music, film, television, DVDs, books, comic books, and video games. Additionally, Under the Radar’s website offers exclusive reviews, news, interviews, and a rich archive of past content.
