Revenge...?

RIFF RAFF was a legendary rock magazine based in London in the late 1980s and 1990s. Unfortunately, it was just too R n' R for its own good. A genuine working class rock mag, written, edited, and translated into 16 European languages in a drug-n-Jack-Daniels-fuelled haze, often on the back of motorbikes, with spell checking by our staff of attentive rock bimbos (chosen purely for their blondeness and big knockers), it soon fell behind more nerdy and woke publications like Q, Kerrang, Mojo, Metal Hammer, and Horse & Hound. This website is an archive and kind of shrine dedicated to the writing of its greatest writers... BUT it is also a place for new talent to rise and shine. So, don't be shy! In the words of the immortal Fly, send in your "news, blues, and reviews" - and even interviews if you've got the balls to buttonhole your heroes!
