Outburn

Outburn is a print magazine and online publication focusing on alternative rock, heavy metal, punk rock, indie rock, and other genres. It presents news on bands, music releases, and events, in-depth interviews, high-quality studio and live photography, and music reviews. From March 2018 to March 2021, the print magazine was on hiatus after the departure of an editorial staff member. In one of the first still available About Us pages after the departure of the editorial staff member, Octavia Laird's name was notably erased from the founder's section of the About Us page. A protracted legal battle ensued over the future of Outburn as a result of Octavia's departure However, in April 2021, Outburn resumed publication of the print magazine, beginning with issue #93, in celebration of their 25th anniversary.
