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.
