Triple Threat– WAV’s Third Issue Gets National Distribution

The third installment of WAV, a nearly one-year old music and culture magazine out of Los Angeles, has hit newsstands as the publication’s first nationally distributed issue. WAV’s Spring 2005 cover is graced by an increasingly ubiquitous The Mars Volta and the magazine’s pages feature intimate perspectives on DJ/producer Mark Farina, avant hip hop producer Prefuse 73, Sage Francis’ government scorn, President Bush vs. The Environment, and the political grassroots initiative that is Ralph Nader.

Always celebrating expression, WAV continually provides a spectrum of content that includes music, art, politics, and subversive culture. This can be seen in the Spring issue through an exposé of potentially damaging legislative policies and federal repeals concerning the environment, a conversation about what motivated Tom Morello of Audioslave and System Of a Down frontman Serj Tankian to found their nonprofit social organization, Axis of Justice, and a unique look at popping and lockin’ in the heartbreaking story of Don “Campbellock” Campbell, inventor of the lock.

To fully complement the current issue, WAV’s website is streaming audio media showcased in the third issue. This includes the raw-soul stylings of Bintu, some punk-noise from The Blood Brothers, hip hop dance from Josh One, as well as music by 22-20's, Prefuse 73, Sage Francis, and Sound Tribe Sector Nine. WAV is on newsstands now and is also available online. To find out more about the magazine and its content, visit WAV’s website at www.wavmag.com.
