THE SPILL MAGAZINE ARTIST PORTRAIT: LCD SOUNDSYSTEM LCD Soundsystem debuted with “Losing My Edge,” a single that became one of the most talked-about indie releases of 2002.

THE SPILL MAGAZINE ARTIST PORTRAIT: ALICE COOPER Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock.
