ROCK’n’REEL magazine was launched in 1988. Over a period of twenty years the original pocket-sized fanzine of somewhat modest ambitions has grown into a fully-fledged, professionally-run, full-colour glossy magazine and, in doing so, earned itself a deserved place within the mainstream publishing marketplace – and in the hearts of discerning musicians and music fans around the world.
And we’re still picking up new readers on a daily basis. While some have been with us since the very first issue, feedback from readers old and new confirms that our consistent efforts to be fresh, unpretentious, informative, comprehensive and eclectic in our music coverage shows that we have a formula that clearly works. Perhaps that’s because there are no jaded Fleet Street-style hacks here at the independently published (that is to say, non-corporate) ROCK’n’REEL and, as a consequence, we’re not just another bland ‘consumer product’.
At ROCK’n’REEL it really is about the music. It’s something our readers recognise and appreciate.
Indeed, ROCK’n’REEL is unique in that its pages truly reflect the enthusiasms of its writers – and readers – on the page, issue after issue. We’ve never been a fickle follower of musical fashion, nor a mere major-label mouthpiece. Our independence and independent-minded contributors ensure that what we offer is an informed, intelligent and unbiased view of the UK and international music scenes, in inimitable and authoritative style.
Each issue of ROCK’n’REEL is packed with stuff … new CD and DVD release details, artist updates, festival news and more, alongside our extensive review section and wide range of informative and entertaining articles and interview features. The magazine as a whole provides a valuable reference and information source for our readers, who return to its pages repeatedly.
ROCK’n’REEL is distributed to newsagents, record stores, book shops and music venues throughout the UK, mainland Europe, USA and the rest of the world via Comag, WWMD and others.
Throughout the music festival season, ROCK’n’REEL is also on sale at all the major roots, rock, folk and blues festivals.
ROCK’n’REEL is the only magazine in the UK that seriously covers both classic and contemporary rock plus established and emerging talents from the worlds of roots, blues, folk, Americana, singer-songwriter and world music.
Each issue of ROCK’n’REEL includes an exclusive jewel-cased cover-mounted CD featuring a selection of the brightest new sounds around. Each CD offers a somewhat more unusual and interesting alternative to what is often, elsewhere, the usual suspects or ‘common herd’ – which is why we gave our free cover CDs the title UN-HERD.
So … that’s the magazine. We’re different – and even if we say it ourselves, too – we’re better … because we try harder, and we do it well.
