The Brooklyn-based zine The deli’s coverage centers on indie rock and pop by emerging artists, particularly from New York City. An offshoot of an earlier fanzine founded by the music producer, publisher, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and studio owner Charles Newman, it was launched as a quarterly publication in 2004 by Paolo De Gregorio, who stated that, “The name is playful and serious at the same time. We wanted to give everyone the idea that an indie band at the end of the day is nothing more than a commercial activity. We didn't want to be too serious or have a political approach, like most of the traditional fanzines”. At the height of its prominence as a print publication,The deli launched a series of local blogs with writers covering scenes in Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, San Francisco/The Bay Area, Austin, Philadelphia, Portland, Boston/New England, and even Toronto. While it ceased print publication in 2019, blogs covering the New York City and Chicago scenes are still active, run by Jason Lee and Jason Behrends, respectively. In 2011 the magazine's audio equipment reviews, formerly a partnership with the music production website sonicscoop.com, was spun off into its own dedicated blog Delicious audio.
