SPIN Returns to Print for the First Time in 12 Years


SPIN Lainey Wilson

We’re back! After 12 years, SPIN has returned as a print magazine, with Lainey Wilson serving as the first country music artist on the cover in our 39-year history. Other SPIN favorites featured in the issue include Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic, Rakim and Guided by Voices’ Robert Pollard. There’s also an extensive feature penned by Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery on the band’s tumultuous journey, a deep diver into Seattle’s underground punk scene and the return of our revered reviews section.

Rising stars such as Suki Waterhouse, Miller Campbell, Kenny Mason and Birthday Girl DC appear prominently, while comedian and political commentator Bill Maher sits for an interview with SPIN founder Bob Guccione Jr.
