Kerrang is an alternative music magazine. It covers all genres and sub-genres of rock, metal, indie and punk. Ever since it was first published in June 1981, it has provided music lovers with all the knowledge and articles they could desire to keep them in touch with their passion.

Within the magazine you will find many different pieces, such as the following:

- Letters, fans are encouraged to write in and give their opinions on anything
- News, this covers any rock music related events, upcoming dates of significance, and general music news
- Introducing...., the section where new and upcoming bands are giving a page and all their details are displayed
- Exclusive Interviews, typically in the main feature, but also found throughout the magazine
- General Articles, the usual features, interviews with bands about gigs, and upcoming releases, and general chit chat with people of significanec in the rock, metal world.
- Upcoming Releases and Reviews, this section details all upcoming releases, mainly CD's, but occasionally DVD's and games, and will review each and every one of them. They are given a K rating out of 5, for example 3 K's. 5 is good, 1 is bad.
- Gig Planner and Dates, all UK gig dates and information is displayed, allowing music fans to view upcoming tour information.

Aswell as all this, competitions are frequently run weekly, with many prizes being exclusive to Kerrang. Well worth entering in most cases. Also, there is a classified ads section which allows companies, and even private parties to advertise products, or even look for band mates and friends.

For everyone who is interested in rock, metal, indie and punk genres, this magazine will be your bible! I highly recommend purchasing this weekly.

It is an absolute pleasure to read!

Summary: If you love to rock, you'll love this!
