The Rock and Roll Report – New Look, Same Attitude

(PRESS RELEASE) Emerging from a graphical overhaul to further its rock and roll
mission, The Rock and Roll Report (www.rockandrollreport.com) has been relaunched
with a new look but the same mission; to spread the word about the amazing amount of
incredible rock and roll being created today by thousands of unsigned bands and
independent record labels from around the world.
“The pendulum is swinging away from the major label and old school commercial rock
media model to a world populated by smaller, more technically savvy indie labels, blogs,
podcasts and social media and The Rock and Roll Report is diving in head first!”
exclaims site publisher and podcast host Mark Boudreau.
The Rock and Roll Report is a number of things, all interrelated and all furthering the
same mission. There is the website itself at www.rockandrollreport.com that features a
number of passionate contributors from around the world who write about bands and
artists, CDs and independent record labels that produce an amazing amount of great rock
and roll that unfortunately rarely pierces the mainstream. “We aren’t telling you if
something is good or bad,” insists Boudreau. “We are simply saying that if you love rock
and roll you just might want to check these bands and CDs out as they blow us away.”
In addition to the website there is the weekly Rock and Roll Report Podcast which
features roughly an hour of incredible rock and roll which host Mark Boudreau feels
could easily find a place on commercial rock radio playlists. “Rock radio is boring. It’s
too predictable, too focused on selling product and too restrictive. The DJs have almost
no say in what they play and all sense of adventure has been sucked out of the medium.
What I try to do on the Podcast and the monthly Rock and Roll Report Radio is to bring
back a bit of variety to the medium. I’ll play hard rock, power pop, garage, punk, heavy
metal, psychedelia, whatever. It’s a niche-free zone and as long as it rocks my boat I’ll
play it!”
Rounding things out are Rock and Roll Report TV featuring videos by artists featured on
the site and podcast as well as the monthly Rock and Roll Report Radio heard on noncommercial
radio station CKUT FM in Montreal and on the ‘Net at www.ckut.ca.
With the new site look come new opportunities and The Rock and Roll Report looks to
tackle those head on. “Look for us to be doing a lot more in the future to bring regional
rock and roll to the world. It’s our take on “think global, act local.” We like to call it
“play local, rock global!”
