I tell you this, I got lucky judging music by the cover. Copper Press, though short and squatty for a magazine, is pretty on the outside and smart on the inside and sounds great coming out of the speakers. The CDs triumph new, independent, obscure, post-rock music. Very post rock and obscure at times. On the pictures issue (#18) we get The Kick Ass (Pavement + Rush's Geddy Lee) doing "Catch on 11"; My favorite "The Planet" (Pavement + the Cramps) stuttering and hic-cupping their "Toledo Vadar". The magazine itself is as a music mag should be with interviews with the bands and related artists on the CDs. Let's see, Copper Press is short, sturdy, smart, tasteful and unassuming. Sounds Canadian to me. That's a very good thing.
