Artrocker magazine is an independent monthly publication, concentrating on music and modern culture, available across the United Kingdom.
Before switching to a digital format in 2013, it was stocked in larger branches of
Artrocker provides an outlook on modern culture, with information on the UK music scene and the main emphasis firmly being placed on London. There are also sections dedicated to covering art and fashion, and classic bands from the past. Due to the demise of Melody Maker and Sounds, the magazine was considered one of the very few rivals to the NME. In 2008, the magazine claimed a circulation figure of 30,369,[2] under current editor-in-chief Tom Fawcett, compared to around 68,000 for the NME.[3] Today, the circulation of NME sits at 15,384.
There is a certain rivalry evident between Artrocker and the NME, with Artrocker writers and readers apparently referring to the NME as "the Comic" and accusing them of jumping on "any old bandwagon".
The online site moved from artrocker.tv to a new website in February 2015.
