what the FAQ is wears the trousers? A print and online magazine established in May 2005 that doffs a jaunty-angled cap to its US cousins and takes a resolutely Anglocentric peek at the world of women in music. A round-up of all that is new, essential and exciting about the contribution of women worldwide to the music industry.
so you’re firebreathing man-haters? No. Some of us are men. We’re just sick of the majority of the music press who seem to fail to realise that rock/”credible” music is not naturally a male thing, just actively produced as such in line with some ancient misconception that proliferates the belief that what’s a correct or incorrect behaviour for a woman is different to that of a man. We believe that female musicians still go under-represented in the media, and this is our way of celebrating their music.
so what’s on offer here?
music news
- trouser press: general music news
- trouser shorts: tidbits and teasers
- where’s the gigs: tourdates and such
- release calendar: coming soon!
- mainly albums, songs and gigs; occasionally books, films and dvds
interviews
- words in edgeways: in-depth interviews with established artists
- interrupting yr broadcast: interviews with newer or less established artists
- voices on the verge: the WTT questionnaire for up-and-coming acts
- special features: features that are special (i.e. don’t fit into any of our other categories)
- retrospectives: articles that look to the past, perhaps a career overview
- buyer’s guides: here we appraise a bunch of albums with a common theme
fab! but how can i get involved? If you’re a budding music writer or just an all-round music nut who knows their way around a pocket thesaurus, we’d love to hear from you. If you’re an artist, an artist’s agent or just some weirdo who likes sending people CDs, we are very happy to receive discs for review (be they albums, singles, EPs or even demos).
