NoSkip Magazine, “The Visual Music Magazine,” is a music, photography, and lifestyle magazine that covers the intersection of independent music and visual art. NoSkip features independent songwriters and musicians from the Greater Boston Area and pairs them with local photographers to create visual narratives around original music. NoSkip also emphasizes album artwork as an underappreciated means of expression in music. NoSkip is committed to representing a diverse range of small and local independent artists, ensuring artists themselves are highlighted in addition to their work.

Looking Forward
The Future of NoSkip
NoSkip isn’t just a magazine—it’s a statement. A pushback against passive consumption, against the endless scroll, against the idea that music is just something you stream and forget. This is print-first on purpose, because music deserves more than an algorithmic shuffle. It deserves to be held, seen, and experienced in a way that sticks with you.
What you’re holding is just the beginning. Two more issues are already in the works, each expanding on NoSkip’s mission: to blend music and visuals in a way that immerses you completely. The goal? To build something that feels as essential as the music itself. Not a throwback, not nostalgia—just a recognition that physical media, from vinyl to print, offers something digital never can: ownership, presence, and permanence.
And this is only getting bigger. The next step? Bringing in more voices. More musicians, more photographers, more artists who see the potential in a magazine that isn’t just about music—it’s part of it.
NoSkip doesn’t need to beg for attention. It’s here, it’s real, and it’s moving forward. The only question is: are you coming with us?
