Foley Magazine is an Australian music magazine which focuses on Melbourne-based music.
History
[edit]Foley Magazine was started by founding editors Alannah Sawyer, Eleni Vitale, and Madison Woods, while studying for Bachelor of Arts degrees in music industry at RMIT University, growing from a final group assignment.[1][2] They wanted to bring focus to different facets of the local music industry, including musicians, record labels, radio shows, writers, and visual artists.[3]
Foley's first issue was published October 2020, with a focus on supporting local and emerging artists who were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
The third issue was launched at the Gasometer Hotel with performances from local bands Treefrogs, Elsie Lange, and The Vovos.[5]
Each issue takes two months to put together, with a mixture of work submitted and work by each of the three editors. They have said they aim for at least 50% female-led content to stand apart from traditional male-led music press.[1]
At the start of 2022 the magazine received $10,000 funding from the Victoria State Government to support production.[6]
In May 2022 the seventh issue of Foley Magazine was published and made available at record stores in Melbourne.[7][2]
