Rock Street Journal’s first release was in 1993, blessing a generation of music lovers in the country with a bridge between them and the world of music around them when there was no ‘music scene’. Promoting upcoming artists with a finger always on the pulse of the music circuit along with the intrinsic nature to create trends and tastes, Rock Street Journal has gathered a fanatical brotherhood of musicians and music lovers devoted to a simple motto: it is all about the music.
