the fly has the large masthead stretching across the entire top of the magazine, this is the same in all of there issues.They don't have a strap line instead just have the website and a puff saying its free.
The main cover line is clearly showing the highlight of this issue and this is reinforced by the picture, which is staged, of the band 'FOALS'.
The magazine is full of new albums and news about bands and the newest upcoming ones.
The writing inside this magazine is casual, not too formal but not informal either, it seems like the magazine is talking to you like a friend perhaps. There are alot of little bits of information on bands and members, for example 'The singer from KINGS OF LEON appeared on the T.V show iron chef' this just keeps the reader up to date with what the bands are doing. there are also Top 5 Music Singles and albums inside so the reader knows what is new and what they should listen to.
This magazine has a huge circulation mainly because it is free but also because it gives you all you want to know about the music world and what is happening in it.

This magazine greatly influences my own magazine as it promotes new upcoming bands,as well as established acts, and gets there names around, also it is a indie rock genre which is the same as the magazine i hope to create. And also has all the information about what is going on in the music world so keeps the readers informed and up to date. The style of writing is also an influence as it is very casual and laid back.
