Styles Worldwide Magazine is an independent music publication dedicated to capturing the raw energy, emotion, and culture of hardcore, metalcore, punk, and alternative music. Founded by photographer and filmmaker Stephen “Styles” Ellis, the magazine was built to elevate the underground with authentic storytelling, powerful visuals, and fearless coverage.
Our team is small but driven:
