Genre of my Magazine

My magazine shall be an Indie / Rock magazine as this is the music i am most interested in and listen to regularly. I think that this Genre is the easiest for me to portray and it is the best choice. Below are some bands that i listen to and represent either the Rock or Indie scene.
Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, The Strokes and Led Zepplin.
