Paste, a leading entertainment and lifestyle site covering music and pop culture, announced an Indiegogo campaign for its new quarterly print publication, Paste Quarterly. The first edition of Paste Quarterly will be distributed in March 2017; each magazine will feature insightful long-form content and a vinyl album with exclusive tracks recorded at the Paste Studio in New York.

Paste launched its first print magazine in 2002, mainly covering music, film, and books, and went online-only in 2010. In the eight years of print publication, the magazine earned numerous prestigious publishing awards and nominations, including American National Magazine Awards nominations for General Excellence and Best Reviews, a Folio Eddie Awards win for Best Consumer Entertainment Magazine, and PLUG Independent Music Awards win for Magazine of the Year. The online brand has grown significantly in the six years that Paste has solely published digital content, boasting over seven million unique web visitors in November 2016, up tenfold from 616,000 unique visitors in September 2010 (the first month after going all-digital). Paste content has also further expanded beyond music to also include food, drink, tech, style, politics, and travel, among other cultural topics.

Paste Quarterly is designed as an artistic, beautifully crafted reading and listening experience for subscribers, printed on large 12-by-12 inch, thick paper with rich colors, enhancing its striking photography and illustration. The most notable feature of the magazine is the new Paste Sampler: a 150-gram colored vinyl album with exclusive tracks by artists including Violent Femmes, Lake Street Dive, Shakey Graves, Lucius, Josh Ritter, Joseph, Anderson East, Lee Fields, Bonnie Bishop, and Courtney Barnett.

The new magazine will also incorporate stories from the best writers in the publishing industry on pop culture topics that are currently covered on the website, as well as pieces highlighting upcoming artists across media and genre to help readers discover their new favorites.

"We're thrilled to debut the new Paste Quarterly. We've enjoyed the freedom of publishing digital content and will continue to add more categories to the website," said Josh Jackson, Paste's founder and editor-in-chief. "But this new magazine is a truly unique and exciting opportunity to share something special with our readers. Our goal has always been to surprise and delight our audience, and we're convinced this will do both."
