The latest issue of Elmore Magazine is on newsstands now! Here’s a taste of what we have in store:

– Supergroups: where did they start? What do they offer to our musical landscape? Matthew Allen explores the long, convoluted history of supergroups while sitting down with Michael McDonald (Dukes of September), Vernon Reid (Spectrum Road), and more!

– Gregory Crotty takes a look at the future of music videos. As MTV drops “music” from their name, many bands are looking to the World Wide Web for a chance of video stardom. Greg also talks with music video direction team Focus Creeps and members of the band Dr. Dog.

– This issue’s Influences column features a back-and-forth between two studio wizards. Producer Don Was (The Rolling Stones) and engineer/producer Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen) talk about the music that influenced them in their careers.

We also have a roundup of the year’s music festivals, an exclusive interview with rising indie rock stars Tennis, and reviews of the latest albums from Mumford & Sons, Heart, The Blasters, Magic Slim & The Teardrops, and many more!
