By Evie Holmes

2. Potential names for my indie
rock magazine
Reverb
Vinyl
Psych
Alternative Escape
Revival
Subculture
Festival
Melodic
Sonic
Underground
Venue
Fusion
Escapist
Escapism
Fantasy
Overdrive

3. The name I have chosen is…
REVERB
‘Reverb’ was the most popular choice among the masthead ideas, which shows the
name and thus magazine has the potential to appeal to a mass audience. ‘Reverb’ is
a musical effect often used within indie rock music, linking and showing relevance to
the subgenre of the magazine; revealing the subgenre immediately to those with
musical knowledge, as the reverb effect does not relate to genres such as pop and
hip-hop. The name is also short and catchy, enabling the masthead to become a
memorable element which can be shared between music fans.
