Forget your indie rock, KERRANG! is not for the faint hearted rocker. With regular coverstars being Iron Maiden, My chemical romance and Greenday this is literally a rock magazine, no messing about. The magazine is largely made up of pictures with tiny and often sarcastic articles concentrating purely on the music, with a bit of eyeliner and swearing thrown in. Even the rock theme continues throughout the adverts with my personal favorite being Tommy Lee’s PETA advert: ‘Ink not mink’.
The “the world’s biggest selling weekly rock magazine” is aimed at moody teenagers aged 14-18 who want to cover their entire bedroom with posters and read about up and coming bands whilst also sticking to the more recognisable mainstream bands featured on the covers, for sales obviously.
If your not into proper rock music this might not be your cup of tea.
Pretty good, and a decent attempt at the Kerrang informality.
