ABOUT FALSE CHORD

“There was something special about getting your favorite music magazine in the mail, cutting out the photos of your favorite bands and sticking them to your walls. I miss those days days.”

Founded in 2025, False Chord Magazine is a print and digital publication, focused on heavy music. It was established to provide a new platform for bands to find new listeners, no matter if they’re just starting out or are established touring bands.

For our listeners, our goal is to bring new heavy music to your ears and print magazines back to your mailbox. 

What we believe in

1. We’re genre agnostic

We use the term heavy as a broad category. We don’t exclude great music just because its genre doesn’t fit within a certain niche.

2. We don’t rank music

We don’t believe it’s right to compare artists. Art is subjective, and all music is valid. However, we will only feature music that we subjectively like.

3. We’re fan-focused

Our goal is to create content and experiences that can get you closer to your favorite artists and introduce you to your next favorite artist.

Say hi if you see us at a show!
