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, loud and/or quiet:
“Let us be different in our homes. Let us realize that along with food, shelter, and clothing, we have another obligation to our children, and that is to affirm their “rightness.” The whole world will tell them what’s wrong with them—out loud and often. Our job is to let our children know what’s right about them.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“The square dance fiddler’s first concern is to carry a tune, but he must carry it loud enough to be heard over the noise of stamping feet, the cries of the “caller,” and the shouts of the dancers. When he fiddles, he “fiddles all over”; feet, hands, knees, head, and eyes are all busy.”
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
