Alternative, Indie and the Guitar Underground
BestRock.News covers alternative and indie rock, from post-punk and shoegaze to math rock and melodic rock. We publish explanatory journalism about how music actually gets made, released and paid for, rather than press-release coverage of what came out this week.
We cover the part of rock that operates on small pressings, small rooms and small budgets, and we treat the economics as part of the story. What a record cost to make shapes what it sounds like.
How we work
Articles here are written by Fiona Whitlock, who covers this beat for BestRock.News. Pieces are researched and written rather than aggregated, and where a claim rests on a specific event, statistic or decision we check it against primary reporting before it publishes. We do not run articles built from a single aggregator.
We do not fabricate interviews, quotes or releases. If we have not spoken to someone, we do not imply that we have. Where a piece is analysis rather than reporting, it reads as analysis.
Who publishes this
BestRock.News is part of the MW3.biz music network. MW3.biz connects independent and grassroots artists with music curators and publications, and supports artists self-managing their own careers. Coverage decisions here are editorial and are not determined by whether an artist has used that platform.
If you are an artist looking to promote a release, the platform is at mw3.biz.
