Who we are
Zine platforming the best new music and gigs around.
PICKUP is a zine platforming the best new music and gigs around. We focus on indie bands from in and around London: we interview them, review their shows, photograph and draw them, and put them on at our own gigs.
PICKUP is run by seven people around London, each with a dedicated role. Here's who does what, and the album each of us picked as our album of the year.
