Knocksmith Magazine - Issue 06 (SNOW POLO / CODE RED COVER)

It is no surprise that much of today’s media has migrated to online platforms, but there are few truly innovative visionaries who recognize that print, images, videos and music are rapidly converging. One of these leaders is Knocksmith Magazine which is bringing all of these mediums and their fans together to experience something profoundly new and unique. Knocksmith Magazine offers a physical print magazine that is integrated with online music and video services, via QR apps, codes and giveaways.

The production team behind Knocksmith Magazine has showcased some of the emerging superstars of the independent hip-hop scene. The insightful interviews are presented as videos that are accompanied by written articles and full page images. This rich, interactive media offers a 360 degree view of the artist that can’t be found anywhere else in the music industry.

In addition to intimate looks at rising musical artists, Knocksmith Magazine is also the platform of choice for fans to explore the music scene. The exhaustive collection of artists and music found on the Knocksmith Magazine catalogue enables fans to hear new songs, link to download sites and find similar artists.

Finally, Knocksmith Magazine is a proud supporter of music lovers. Through their “Save the Record Stores” campaign, the magazine is helping to preserve an important but endangered part of the music industry. That is why Knocksmith Magazine encourages purchase of music both online and through neighborhood record stores.

While Knocksmith Magazine has already made a big impression on the music industry, the organization is eager to take things to the next level. In an effort to broaden its reach, Knocksmith Magazine has sponsored a campaign on Kickstarter. Backers can get valuable perks through this campaign including issues of Knocksmith Magazine, stickers, posters, mention on the “Thank You” page of the next issue or a two year subscription.
