FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 3, 2003 -- www.verticalslum.com

Columbus, OH, USA 10.03.03 � The Vertical Slum is pleased to announce the official launch of its new revolutionary on-line music magazine bringing you approximately sixty album reviews, feature articles, industry interviews, and free Mp3�s on a monthly basis. We also offer a music news blog and a community Message Board for daily entertainment and plan to sponsor regional live concert events as well. We are based in Columbus, Ohio, USA, and although we hope to be a key ingredient in helping to promote and nurture our local music scene, our ultimate scope is worldwide awareness and affect.

We look forward to shedding light on the many incredibly talented artists and independent interests who are typically overlooked by popular domestic media, as well as, more established performers and labels we simply love. At The Vertical Slum we are pioneering the new paradigm of positivism over payola. That�s what will make us fresh, appealing, germane to our readers and ultimately very successful. It is through this unique approach that we will only include albums and musicians we enjoy, no matter what era they originate from; therefore we will not only offer you a sanctuary from the typically negative, fear trading scribes of the majority of today�s trendy media outlets, but we will dive deeper into the records we cover. You already know that if it�s on The Slum, we think it�s noteworthy, therefore we�re taking it to the next level--discussing sounds, stories, production, instrumentation, memories, mood, musicians, comparisons, and more.



It is our goal to become one of the internet�s premier album review and industry news websites, promoting positivism, inspiration and diversity through thought-provoking music commentary, live events and our open-minded Message Board. We will publish new issues on the first of every month and like rock �n roll itself, The Vertical Slum will continue to evolve and grow with our fans while always staying true to our basic initial aspirations--to be influential proponents of high-quality music and to be awesome at doing it.
