After more than 12
years and 120 issues of of consistent, regular
publication, Rockpile Magazine will be closing its
doors.“While
rumors have been floating for awhile (mostly due to
the fact that the mag became as flimsy as Keira
Knightley), word finally came down at the beginning
of this week that Rockpile
Magazine is over. The
Philadelphia-based bi-monthly mag started out as a
free publication back in 1994. Ten years later it
was sold by founder Joe Kirschen to staffers Mike
McKee, Allan Kemler, and Matt McGlynn. In turn, the
mag began charging and found brief success as a
nationally distributed publication covering the
latest in ‘independent music and culture.’ The mag
helped launch the writing careers of many rock
critics you read on a daily basis. But the cost of
distributing said magazine has finally caught up to
them.” |
