Over the past 16 years, the New York-based online publication has accrued a devoted readership in the millions for its reliability, precision, and character with regards to music, television, and film. It’s a voice that wants to pat one’s shoulders, not stand on them.
Consequence (formerly known as Consequence of Sound), the flagship publisher, was built around live music, independent culture, and the ethics surrounding it—DIY, community organization, and inclusivity. For 15 years, Consequence has covered shows, more unknown and rising artists, and more live experiences than anyone else.
In 2023, Consequence has become the largest music publication in North America, with over 9 million monthly readers and a social reach and engagement that outpaces the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork.
Its independent voice connects to the audience—independent thinkers themselves—and allows for authentic communication with both the underground and the mainstream.

















Consequence has long been a trusted platform for showcasing the best in music and entertainment. Known for their genuine connection with their audience and a strong sense of authenticity, they collaborated with WASP Mobile to refresh their brand guidelines and website design. The project aimed to reflect their evolution as a brand while preserving their indie roots and deep passion for music and culture. The outcome was a polished and dynamic style guide that seamlessly translated into a revamped website, capturing their distinct voice and commitment to their community.
