Pavement (magazine)

Pavement was a British music magazine that focused primarily on alternative, indie, and rock music. Founded in 1990, it distinguished itself through its irreverent tone, strong design aesthetic, and coverage of both established and emerging artists. The magazine was known for its in-depth interviews, album reviews, and gig listings, targeting a readership that appreciated a broad spectrum of alternative sounds.

Pavement ceased publication in 1999. Its closure marked a significant shift in the British music press landscape, leaving a void for independent music publications. The magazine is remembered for its contribution to the development and popularization of alternative music during its run, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary music journalism and design. Its back issues are considered collectible items.
