Skyscraper was an independent music magazine dedicated to coverage of a wide range of progressive and underground music. It was founded by Peter Bottomley and Andrew Bottomley in 1997 and published its first issue in 1998. Its headquarters was in Boulder, Colorado. The magazine covers various genres of music and is often likened to an American version of Mojo. Its format includes in-depth interviews, music reviews, and articles covering books, film, comics, and social and political issues. The quarterly print edition of Skyscraper discontinued after the Spring 2009 issue. The founders started an online magazine in 2010.
“Crowned not only with no history, but with no credible possibility of time for history, and consecrated by no uses save the commercial at any cost, they are simply the most piercing notes in that concert of the expensively provisional into which your supreme sense of New York resolves itself”
“What is the chief characteristic of the tall office building? It is lofty. It must be tall. The force and power of altitude must be in it, the glory and pride of exaltation must be in it. It must be every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising in sheer exaltation that from bottom to top it is a unit without a single dissenting line.”
