Chris Force
With glue sticks and X-acto knives, Chris Force made his first music magazine in 1995 to support young, contemporary, and independent bands. Originally sold out of his backpack in front of rock concerts, Force's books and magazines on music and underground art can now be found around the world. He is now onto his third storage locker and sixth iPod, all crammed with great music.
i have not received my copy of this book yet. Who do I need to contact?
Never too late to say it: the hardcover looks amazing! Chromatic is entertaining to read and look at. Encourages me to put on some music as well. Well done! Proud to have been able to back this up.
