About Us

Highwire Daze is a music magazine based out of the Los Angeles, CA area. Founded by Kenneth Morton and Judith Scott in September of 1990, the first issue arrived two months later. Now in our 28th year, Morton and his staff continue to cover metal, hardcore, punk, and other genres of music. This website marks a new chapter for the magazine, and we thank you all for the continued support.

(Editor’s Note – October 2023: I still need to update this page big time!!! Will be actively updating this section through the end of year.)
