Since 2005, Uprise Zine has been a major support of underground heavy Christian music. While also covering skateboarding and art, every issue of Uprise Zine is packed full of cutting-edge underground lit. Mainly distributed throughout the southeast and midwest, Uprise prints 5000 copies of every issue and many are distributed free through sponsored tours. 1000 units are packaged with a compilation cd and are sold for a meer $1.99. Uprise wants to support the scene, from the fans too the bands. The staff of Uprise Zine share a goal, to provide a publication that contains material not found in other magazines, relevant features untainted by the influence of popular media, and to supply readers a positive magazine without the negative reviews and gossip. The faces behind the publication are Christians, though our views may vary, we are striving to make every issue more informative and enriching to our present and future readers.
