Loud And Quiet is a free monthly music magazine that features new indie, alternative, electronic and rock bands and artists. Founded in January 2005, it is distributed heavily in and around London as well as 30 other UK towns and cities. Its design style is clean and minimal.
Issue 01 of Loud And Quiet featured Pete Doherty on its cover. Only 150 copies were published in a home-made fanzine style and distributed through independent record shops and clothes shops in London, England. Since then Crystal Castles, Foals, Fuck Buttons, Bat For Lashes and The Horrors have all featured on the cover.
Originally an A5 black and white publication, Loud And Quiet printed two A4 issues in 2008 before being relaunched as a newspaper to cut growing print costs.
In August 2012 the magazine's website was hacked and severely damaged, forcing a new site to be built, which featured for the first time every past issue of the paper in a virtual online reader, powered by issuu.
In October 2012 it was announced that Loud And Quiet would be a media partner of Spanish/Portuguese festivals San Miguel Primavera Sound.

Famous quotes containing the words loud and/or quiet:
“I can grouse about the food, and the C.O. and anything I blame please. And that’s more than you with your Gestapo and your storm troopers and your Aryan bourgeois. Ahhh, nuts. What’s the good of talking to you. You can’t even begin to understand democracy. We own the right to be fed up with anything we damn please and say so out loud when we feel like it.”
—Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)
“War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
