On the tail of the recent news that alt.country magazine No Depression had ceased publication, comes more bad news for the indie-music-magazine industry. Harp magazine, in publication since 2001, formally announced yesterday that it would shut its doors after its March/April issue.
Rumors began to swirl about the magazine's imminent demise last week at SXSW, and by Friday the journalistic community had been all but officially informed that the DC-based magazine was no more. As has happened too recently in the world of print music titles, the magazine closes its doors due to lack of funds.
Harp goes out at the top of its game with its March/April cover story on Dave Grohl and his faux-bid for President.
