Raw Power Magazine

Magazine, Interviews, Concert Promotion

 

Raw Power was founded by three sixteen year old teens in Woodland Hills CA; Scott Stephens, Robert Olshever and Murray Schwartz. What started out as a fanzine covering mostly local Los Angeles talent turned into a glossy magazine with interviews and features on national rock acts. The short lived publication eventually morphed into the first "rock & roll travel incentives" company in the United States and today has offices in London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
