about

Publishes Feb, April, June, August, October, December

Each issue contains lengthy artist interviews delving into unusual subjects for the genre, several recurring columns, art page(s), how to's, histories of and guest columns.

ROCKER reviews all applicable material, referencing an era where you could get at least a one-sentence review in every zine. There is an up to date list of reviewers along with their tastes (broadly) on page 74. Once a writer agrees to review your material you can expect it to be published within the next 2-3 issues. Positive reviews are not guaranteed, but the review itself is.

Many interviews are conducted anonymously, with no byline, in order for the paper to speak as one voice. Reviewers reveal their biases in the review guidelines as a service to the artists sending review material.

Despite a pronounced editorial stance, we strive for journalistic integrity, separating advertising and editorial content when copy editing while presenting the subjects spaciously in their own light.
