Music by ERIC “EQ” YOUNG “One Special Love”

Our fabulous February issue is showing the LOVE…love for music, love for the artists
that appear within our pages, and love for YOU, our readers! Can you feel it? Opening
up this “Letter from the Editor” is ERIC “EQ” YOUNG with his song “One Special
Love”…thanks, “EQ”!
Coming at you inside these pages, we have the exceptional El Paso-based Rock band
FALL 2 RISE! Senior Photojournalist TIMOTHY SCHUMANN spotlights this hard-working,
hard-driving band with a feature story and enthralling photography. Check out F2R in this edition!
We are remembering the former lead singer of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS in this issue, SCOTT
WEILAND, as one of our Senior Photojournalists, MARK MYERS, had the opportunity to
photograph him last year. View the memorial layout in this issue. We would also like to
acknowledge the tragic loss of the incomparable DAVID BOWIE, the irrepressible LEMMY
KILMISTER of MOTÖRHEAD and the unforgettable NATALIE COLE. The music world
collectively weeps!
EYE ON JAMZ, the new independent music video show by ION Indie Magazine is in production! Creative Genius/Producer JAY
PETSKO, along with the production team of JB BRIDGES, JERE PERRY and a certain fairy, are also already hard at work on
episode two and the show will be debuting soon! Thank you to the artists/bands that are appearing in our first show and who
are sure to make it a HUGE success! They are: ASHLEY WINELAND, SILVERSEL, THE SLIGHTLYS, LONDON LAWHON, UNDER
THE TONGUE, BASH, GALVANIZED SOULS and 7EVEN SPHEREZ! These artists represented ION’s vision to present the absolute
BEST of independent music to our viewing audience--and also, another step in getting independent music read about, heard-and now, with the addition of EYE ON JAMZ to our arsenal--SEEN!
