Release Magazine

Release is an independent international alternative music web magazine based in Göteborg, Sweden. The magazine was born in Umeå, north of the polar circle in Sweden, in 1986. The first years it was run by Britta Näsman as an A5 small fanzine, just for fun. When she moved to Belgium, Mikael Kahrle and Lotta Kahrle (then Jansson) took over the business gradually. They wanted to slowly convert Release to a real magazine, which they did. Release Magazine publishes online music news content at by Release Musik & Media.
