Summer Issue Released into the Wild

Vain is proud to introduce the first handmade issue of Vain Magazine. We’ve untangled all of our electrical cords, filed the massive heaps of paperwork once occupying our desks, and made room for a new printer, binder, and paper cutter. And we’re more in love than ever with the outcome!
We’d also like to introduce our first featured short film. Alexandra Roxo, writer, director, and producer of Out of the Blue has been a leading force for film in the Northwest. It is an honor to feature her in our publication. Details can be found on page 35 of the summer issue.
Listen to and download songs from Seattle artists Goat, The Torn ACLs, Jerin Falkner, and Switchblade and the Surgeon on our music page.
