| Today, the iconic and newly reborn CREEM announced the cover and contents for its third issue since the magazine’s audacious relaunch earlier last year. The cover features original artwork by L.A.-based graphic artist and musician Iphigenia (Foie Graphics). Her work explores power and perversion through a subversive and humorous lens, so in illustrating the Spring 2023 cover for CREEM, she naturally took aim at portions of the publication’s “yikes did we really say that?!?” seventies-era. She says, “With the cover I wanted to pull together a funny way of saying, ‘We’ve made a mistake’ with respect to some of the things done in the past.”
The new issue will span generations & genres, from features on Weyes Blood, Katy Kirby and Poison Ruïn to Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, “How to party your way into signing Metallica,” the return of Botch, a CREEM history of Britpop, and Tom Waits.
Starting today, readers can preview a full article from the issue at CREEM.com around Peter Frampton and his final tour after being stricken with a rare degenerative muscular disease. CREEM was with the guitar legend for some of the final dates, and he sat for his first photoshoot with the magazine in more than 40 years.
Revised CREEM columns Stars Cars (Ty Segall), CREEM Dreem (Hurray for the Riff Raff), Eleganza (“Clowncore” music and fashion) and CREEM Comix will also return. Subscribers and those who sign up by February 15 will be mailed the Spring 2023 issue, also available to them on CREEM.com along with the entire magazine’s archive. New subscribers will also get a free Boy Howdy! t-shirt while supplies last. |
