‘Embrace it, anyone can be a fangirl.’
Bitchfork is a new music magazine that found its roots in an NYU dorm room, borne of a desire to elevate women in the music industry. The publication is led by an all women editorial team, and is entirely devoted to spotlighting female artists and bands.
Pop-punk musician Jazzelle stars on the cover of this fourth issue, captured in an edgy editorial shot by Mimi Thompson, delving into the psychedelic musical topography of her ongoing project scuzland, and recent venture Robot Moonjuice, in conversation with Olivia Silva. Elsewhere, Poppy Smallman explores the genesis of ‘Torture Tuesday’, the collective putting on a variety of readings, music, and drag performances at New York’s Baker Falls cafe bar; hear from rising pop star Diva Smith discussing the release of her new EP ‘Sunny Surrender’, working as a primary school teacher, and delving into the notion of girlhood; and editor Lila Diamond reports on Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival held at the Great Park in Irvine, California, reflecting on appearances from the likes of Chappell Roan, Doechii, Alanis Morissette, and Stevie Nicks.
