And it still feels like just yesterday!

The genealogy goes like this: Rough Edge, the newspaper column, begat RoughEdge.com, the online webzine, which begat Rough Edge Radio which begat Rough Edge Studios. So, in addition to our literally thousands of hard rock, heavy metal and punk rock CD reviews, we now offer several Internet radio shows, including Rough Edge Radio, Rough Edge Classic and, our latest, Rough Edge: The Podcast. And those are just the Rough Edge shows. Rough Edge Studios also produces The Backseat Mogul Show and The Friday Shot Day Show, and all of these shows can be heard live each week on ErrorFM.com and many are also available via podcast. For more information, just click on the highlighted links. And who knows what the future will bring? As always, I am humbled, honored and blessed to work with some of the most selfless, most talented people in the world (did I mention we don't do this for money?). The Rough Edge Staff are the best, plain and simple. Thanks to our East Coast Editor Christopher J. Kelter; Senior Staff Writer Steve "Snidermann" Snider (who you can also hear on Rough Edge Radio); the astonishingly prolific and talented Mike SOS (check out Mike's band at www.sosnyc.com) and the tireless Jeff Rogers, who reminds me every day that writers write. Do yourself a favor and check out Jeff's other work at www.associatedcontent.com). Thanks also to Spudbeast, who's been writing more and more for us. It ain't easy to go to college and serve as an Associate Editor for an online 'zine, but Spudbeast gives it his best shot. |
And, as always, the most special thank you goes out to you, our readers, for making it worthwhile to pump out our scribblings day after day, week after week and year after year. We love hearing from you, even if it's hatemail for dissing your favorite band. Just the fact you're out there and reading our reviews makes us keep moving forward. Should you have any questions, suggestions or just want to tell us to go fuck ourselves, please don't hesitate to drop me a line at rsb@roughedge.com. Sincerely,

Our contests are painfully easy to enter. Just enter your name in the box for the contest you'd like to enter (yes, you can enter them all) and click Submit. Your e-mail address will be placed in our old, battered leather hat and, once a month or so, we'll pull out a batch of e-mail addresses and - if luck is with you - you'll be a winner! (Don't worry, we hate spam as much as you - we won't share your name and address with anybody without giving you the chance to opt out. Some of the record companies insist on gathering e-mail if you opt in to receive more information). By the way, winners will be notified by e-mail so make sure your e-mail address is valid.

As
of September 2009, Rough Edge has been online for 11 years.
Online. We've been around since the Ventura County Reporter gave
us six column inches (wipe that dirty smirk off your face!) way back in 1989.
We're proud of what we've accomplished here and, although the challenges
continue to mount, we plan on being here for a long, long time. We don't do this
for money because, fi we did, we all would have starved to death years ago. No,
we do Rough Edge because we love the music. And, if there's one thing we've
learned throughout the years, it's that there's a lot of music out there to
love.
ENDLESS VOID was formed by recording artist
James Owen, formerly of Erie, Pa. Owen is very serious about his
music and recently recorded work and recently recorded a five-track EP
entitled "Final Doom." You may have heard several of the tracks on
Rough Edge Radio and thought, "Gee, I wonder where I can pick up that
'Final Doom' CD." And now you might win a copy of the EP just by
entering your e-mail address in the little box below. Type in your name,
hit Submit and wait for the e-mail from us telling you you're a winner.
It's that easy!!
