Inside
There are 115 pages, 50 of which are adverts (43%)
The products advertised are band merchandise, albums and singles on various formats (CD, mp3 etc), upcoming tours/concerts, clothing, video-games and current television programmes.
The article topics in this issue are new albums, tour access all areas, bands talking about personal experiences, album re-releases, and band breakups
The types of articles featured are "music related" and personal, for example, some are about new albums or recent concerts, whereas others are about bands' personal lives.
There are 15 double page spreads and they are about band's personal lives, an album's 10th anniversary re-release (Deftones- 'White Pony') and new albums.
There are quite a few advertorials, which made me wonder if they were adverts or articles. I only realised they were advertorials after double-checking multiple times.
The magazine's unified house style is that the type of article featured it mentioned at the top left or right hand corner and that next to the page numbers it says "rocksound.tv"
This house style is appropriate to the target audience because it is implying that these are the things the target audience likes, e.g it says "the noise" etc in the top corners which is colloquial and appeals to young people (aged between 16- 25) who are the target audience.
