About Disarray Magazine
Independent. Culture-driven. Creator-first.
Founded in 2009, Disarray Magazine is an independent digital publication covering music, pop culture, live events, travel, and the people shaping today’s creative landscape.
What began as a passion project has evolved into a growing media platform producing artist interviews, editorial features, concert photography, event coverage, short-form video, and social-first storytelling. Through our editorial series, C² (Christy + Chris), we bring audiences behind the scenes with musicians, filmmakers, creators, and industry professionals while documenting the moments that define culture.
While our roots are deeply connected to punk, hardcore, and alternative music, our coverage extends far beyond a single genre. From legendary artists and emerging talent to festivals, museums, food, nightlife, travel, and entertainment, we tell stories that deserve to be discovered.
Recent highlights include official partnerships with the Punk Rock Museum, coverage of the NOFX documentary 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up, credentialed media access to Vans Warped Tour, and exclusive interviews with artists ranging from CJ Ramone to rising independent musicians shaping the next generation.
Why We Exist
We believe the best stories aren’t always the loudest. They’re the conversations happening backstage, the independent artists building something meaningful, the unforgettable live performances, and the communities creating culture every day.
Our mission is simple:
Discover great stories. Tell them well. Help more people find them through our “Spotlights.”
Partnerships
We’re always looking to collaborate with brands, artists, agencies, festivals, venues, tourism boards, and organizations that value authentic storytelling.
Whether it’s sponsored editorial content, product integrations, event coverage, destination features, social campaigns, or long-term creative partnerships, we create content that feels genuine because we’re already part of the communities we cover.
If your brand believes in creativity, culture, and meaningful connections, we’d love to start a conversation.
Meet C²
C² is the editorial team behind Disarray Magazine, combining journalism, photography, videography, and social storytelling to produce content that lives across articles, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and emerging digital platforms.
