There was a print edition from 2015 until 2020.
The site is built around live reviews, album reviews and interviews. In 2012, Louder Than War launched a record label to promote and champion lesser known bands and artists.

We release whatever takes our fancy, regularly striving to release material by new bands and artists.
https://membranes.bandcamp.com/Formed in 1978 in Blackpool, UK, The Membranes are post-punk originators who were part of the same world as bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus & The Fall. They released a remarkable series of records throughout the ‘80s that combined their small town frustration with a love of heavy bass and distortion.
The group reformed in 2010 and have since made two highly idiosyncratic and acclaimed albums.
Membranes 'Borders Blurred'
Membranes 'Pandora's Box'
