About

Welcome to So☆Rock! I’m still tweaking the backend and adding content.

What, is this place? A music based community.

The backend is currently in beta and what you see is the front webzine. Until the beta is over, what you will find: interviews, profiles, recommendations, band tutorials (check the front page), reviews, and articles all about music.
There will always be something new on the first and the 15th of the month.
Thanks for reading.
