WE ARE SO BACK
Alt Wave Riders!!! It has been a crazy start to the new year, hasn't it? How is it already almost March like what even? Anyways, I got some special news for you guys tonight.
Tomorrow is New Mag Drop Day! You already know, we are starting this year off with a massive bang. Coming at you first thing tomorrow is Neck Deep and L'Impératrice! Quite the spread musically, aye? Yeah, we know lols. Classic Alt Rock to Digital Synth Pop Music. But we got everything in between that spread on the inside pages too!
Check the full lineup:
New Dropins
Neck Deep
L'Impératrice
Tate Mcrae ~ Album Breakdown
Curated Chrome
Dasha
Almost Monday ~ Album Breakdown
LØLØ
Wind Walkers
Nevertel
And just wait until you see the drop-ins list. This is probably our most diverse spread so far. But that just makes us extra excited to bring it to you! I was telling our writers (Anna & Sammy Q) who also help with creative direction that this month's inspo is "Bubblegum Grunge Diva" We collectively think we nailed it.
Let us know what you think in the comments below or use #altwavemag on IG.
But you still already know that we didn't stop there. Let's be real, it's 2025! A quarter into the new century. We had to go big! So...
We finally did it! Embroidered Tees and Hoodies are on deck plus they are SUPER limited edition. Only 100 of each will be made. Once they are gone, they are gone. Forever...
You know this isn’t just a tee or hoodie—it’s proof that you were here before the world caught on. Proof that you believed in riding the alt wave when no one else did. Proof that you are here on ground zero.
No restocks. No reruns. No second chances. Ever...
Wearing this tee means you were here from the start—part of Alt Wave ground zero. Once these sell out, they’ll never be sold again. Will you be able to say you were here?

Logging off for now. I'll see you tomorrow, Riders. Love you all to the moon and back! Get some rest <3
