This magazine is called Kerrang. Kerrang is a alternative music magazine showcasing some of the best bands in that genre of music, we can tell this by the bands dotted about the page and how the pictures of the bands are posing and dressed. In this case they are all mainly all wearing black and white and posing in a 'moody' and 'pouty' way. They're also looking directly into the camera instead of looking into the distance, this may be to engage with the reader/audience and make them feel the bands are looking directly at them.
The woman in the middle is shown as a punk rocker and as a important person in the alt music scene, pop-punk to be precise. (as the cover line tells us.) She is shown to be important because she is the biggest image on the cover and is taking up the middle/right third with a mid close up. She is also shown as punk by the "charming V's" Commonly used by people in the punk scene.
