Rockfeedback
Encyclopedia
Rockfeedback.com is a London-based music website
that has been online since 2000. It reviews alternative and indie music, global gigs, interviews, videos, mp3s and competitions. It was designed and maintained by Transgressive Records
co-founder Toby L, who founded the site at the age of 15. He has since launched an affiliated production company, Rockfeedback.tv Productions, which is responsible for the Rockfeedback TV show which debuted on MTV Two in August 2006 and was shown on Channel 4
the following autumn. Filming for the third series is now underway.
Control of the original rockfeedback site was delegated to Tom Hannan in 2006. The site has been described as ‘one of the UK's fastest-growing, yet originally established, online music magazines, specialising in audio-visual content and the first interviews and reviews of all the next-megastars.’ http://www.skiddle.com/nightlife/articles/transgressive-roadshow-all-nighters--may-07_240407.php UK record label XL Recordings
praised Rockfeedback as a platform for 'intelligent journalism by scarily passionate young music-lovers.' http://www.xlrecordings.com/friends/~rockfeedback/
The site has become a meeting place and literary outlet for many individuals in the music industry with active members of the music business; including promoters, DJs, musicians, managers and press agents writing articles/columns, occasionally under aliases. Among the sites regular writers are Tom Hannan, Matt Tomiak, Christiana spens
, Alex Lee Thomson, Michael Lewin, and Tom Hocknell.
Rockfeedback hosted a club night in London's Buffalo Bar, Islington, which often features bands that would normally play to much bigger crowds including The Magic Numbers
, Bloc Party
, The Libertines
and The Kooks
. It was recently closed to allow their new, bigger Club Rockfeedback more room to develop.
