AltSounds is a video streaming site. It began as an Internet publication devoted to music criticism and commentary, music news, and artist interviews. Its focus is on alternative music[disambiguation needed]. In 2015 it changed format to providing video playlists only.[1]

History[]

The website was originally created in 2004 by editor-in-chief Chris "MUG5" Maguire.[2] AltSounds published content from different contributors including, academics and professional journalists to career professionals and first time writers.[2] It included news, interviews, record reviews, as well competitions.[3][4][5]

In June 2008, the website formed a record label, Altsounds Records, signing Winch House as their first act.[6] In November 2012, AltSounds was added to the list of ratings sources of AnyDecentMusic?.[7] In 2015, the format of the magazine format was changed to video streaming only. In 2016, Maguire founded the creative marketing agency RIOT.[8]
