Welcome to Ballad Magazines music blog! Here we’ll have tips, ideas, links, mp3s and general Ballad thoughts about music.

Ballad is a magazine which aims to be a platform for new talent of all kinds. That is why there is so much random stuff in the magazine. There is basically 1 rule – the work must be good and must be interesting.

You will be able to get issue 1 Ballad Of Mary Maud eminently.

In the music section we have stuff about the record shop crisis, about indie label Art Goes Pop, a discussion of the New Reality for the music industry, your chance to get free music (great music!) from Ten Tracks with a guest curator… we also have tips for new bands – including the raucous Pulled Apart By Horses and the pop sensibilities of Stricken City…

We also have reviews for you!
