Exclaim!
Exclaim! (also known as exclaim!) is a monthly Canadian music magazine that features in-depth coverage of new music across all genres with special focus on Canadian and cutting-edge artists. Content is based on the monthly print publication, publishes 11 issues per year, distributing over 100,000 copies to over 2,600 locations across Canada.
History
Exclaim! began as a discussion among campus/community radio programmers at Ryerson's CKLN-FM in 1991. The goal of the publication was to support great Canadian music that was otherwise going unheralded. It was started by Ian Danzig, together with other programmers and Toronto musicians. The group worked through 1991 to produce their first issue in early 1992, with monthly issues being produced since.
Similarly to an alternative weekly newspaper, the magazine is distributed as a free publication at campus and community radio stations, bars, record stores, libraries, and coffee shops. It also offers mail subscriptions. With Chart's decision to cease publication of its newsstand edition in January 2009, Exclaim! is now Canada's only nationally distributed general interest music magazine operating as a print publication.
