NME – This magazine is one that many would consider to be pretentious and truly elitist for the scensters that role up to Shoreditch on a weekday night or to Brick Lane on a Sunday. This magazine focuses on a very specific reader that has true love for Indie music and an alternative dress sense. From traveling through a love affair with Morrissey and Ian Curtis in the early days of production to the new found love concentrating on Pete Doherty’s messy personal life, this magazine oozes cool.
It seems to consist of a lazy layout and design for a magazine yet is packed full of well-written, well articulated and punchy reviews from gigs and interviews with the newest rock romantics.
However for a magazine that attempts to avoid the main-stream it contradicts itself by the fact it has become fairly commercial, although I must admit I’m guilty of buying an addition every now and again.

This is, in the main a "well-written, well articulated and punchy review" although I think you'll find that you have bought an edition every now and again.
