Time Off is Australia’s longest-running street press publication, and has positioned itself as an iconic Queensland brand. Time Off’s enlightening and entertaining insight into the world of music, film and art has been copied in every city around the country, and it has earned a reputation that ranks it alongside international benchmarks. Think the UK’s NME crossed with New York’s Village Voice with an entertainingly Australian irreverence. For past 18 months, Time Off has been covering every inch of the entertainment scene, profiling international performers and events and, most importantly, fostering Australian art and artists. Time Off has also proved a fertile breeding ground for dynamic new journalism, design and has launched the careers of many music industry luminaries. Published and read by over 80,000 people weekly, Time Off is distributed to over 800 carefully targeted pubs, clubs, cafes and stores throughout greater Brisbane. With a primary focus on the 17-35 demographic, Time Off specialises in contemporary popular music – rock, punk, metal, blues and roots as well as a comprehensive coverage of arts, theatre and culture, along with a dedicated dance section that covers all aspects of Brisbane’s burgeoning dance music scene. In-depth features, profiles and reviews by some of the country’s leading journalists, specialist columns and an exhaustive gig guide make Time Off essential weekly reading for Brisbane’s youth.

Drum Media is a Sydney icon. The people behind Drum virtually invented what has come to be known as street press. The originator and still the best, Drum’s enlightening and entertaining insight into the world of music, film and art has been copied in every city around the country.
