Vive Le Rock is an independent music magazine published in the United Kingdom which covers punk, new wave, glam, and garage through to mod and primal rock 'n' roll, and the darker side of alternative rock. It is circulated 10 times annually,[2] an increase on previous bi-monthly circulation.[3]
The magazine has won praise from respected music website Louder Than War, whose editor John Robb in 2012 declared Vive Le Rock the "best punk rock magazine on the planet."[4] The Guardian, in an overview of the 2010s UK music press, described the magazine as adopting a "more left field" position than such magazines as Classic Pop and Vintage Rock and summarized Vive Le Rock's commercial strategy as "cater(ing) for people whose sine qua non is punk rock."[5]
Publisher Eugene Butcher was appointed by the BBC as one of their Pundits for the Sound of 2012.[6] He also sings for the U.K.-based band Desperate Measures.
