About Us

Midlands Rocks is many things. It is:

Midlands Rocks is a non commercial web blog run by an excellent team of reviewers, photographers and researchers to bring you the BEST in what is rocking across the region.

Geographically, we cover the West Midlands & East Midlands and a little further beyond when the mood takes us. If it includes a guitar and the volume is cranked up, we are going to tell you about it.

The Midlands Rocks team is made up of a diverse bunch of talented people, dedicated to bringing you the best in Blues, Rock & Metal and more from across the Midlands region – and often further afield. Some are career-path journalists, others keen enthusiasts but what they all have in common is they are all music fans who simply love to KEEP IT LOUD!

This website works the hardest of 24 hours a day alongside our Facebook, YouTube & Twitter sites.


Do you want:

  • to join us as a reviewer or photographer?
  • a review of your gig or your music?
