Summer’s over, everyone’s home from the beach and headed back to school, and along with your textbooks, laptop, pens and looseleaf paper, you’re going to want to make sure your backpack contains a copy of the brand new issue of RVA Magazine! Filled to bursting with all the best in local art, music, and creative activity, our new issue has plenty of great articles to keep you awake and interested when the air inside the classrooms starts feeling positively narcotic. From Skinner’s colorful, eye-popping visuals to legendary graffiti artist Futura2000’s articulate thoughts on the state of the art world in 2012, from Ohbliv’s contemplative hip hop instrumentals to The Catalyst’s epic metal fury, from the latest exploits of local indie heroes Goldrush to the groundbreaking electronic creations of unstoppable local DJ Long Jawns, this issue covers the full spectrum of what’s happening in every corner of RVA’s constantly percolating hometown scene.

And there’s so much more than even that to be had in our new issue–we profile up-and-coming local musicians of every stripe, from the punk/metal brutality of Occultist and the powerful alternative rock n’ roll of Herro Sugar to the passionate post-hardcore of Worn In Red and the eclectic grooves of Proverbial. Honestly, I could go on all day, but suffice it to say that I’ve still only given you a taste of what we’ve got in store for you with our new issue. To find out what else we have to offer, hunt down a copy for yourself! They’ll be available starting today in all of RVA’s finest retail establishments, for the low low price of FREE–you can’t get a better deal than that. Or check out the digital version at the link below!
