SLUG Magazine, SLUG being an acronym for Salt Lake UnderGround, is a free monthly magazine based in Salt Lake City, Utah. SLUG Magazine features music, lifestyle, arts and events with interviews, reviews and articles.[1]

Established in 1989, SLUG Magazine has remained in print for over 34 years, making it one of Utah’s longest-running independent magazines.[2] They distribute over 20,000 copies across Utah each month. Angela H. Brown took ownership of SLUG Magazine in 2000, and is the current owner of the publication. Under her ownership, SLUG launched slugmag.com, which publishes online-exclusive content not found in the print issues.

The magazine’s current tagline is “Causing A Scene Since 1989,”[3] a reference to the magazine’s important role in documenting and promoting Salt Lake City’s local music scene since its inception.
