Comments: First thing first, thanks for taking the time and stopping by and checking out the site. Hopefully we are providing you, the reader, with a balanced perspective on the "genre" of rock, which for us includes classic rock, hard rock, metal of the progressive, power as well as old school loud and heavy.

The birth of the site, way back in '02, has led to many evolutions, redesigns and through it all led to continue growth. As of today Hardrock Haven is pushing over 70,000 unique hits a month and we feature 12 staff writers here in the U.S. and as faraway as Europe. But don't mind the locale this is a global site!

I have been on the other side as an arist struggling to be seen and heard. Hardrock Haven makes it a point to cover unsigned and independent groups along with national and international artists. Our writers have diverse interest allowing Hardrock Haven the ability to cover a broad spectrum of music.

We said it last year and it has to be said again, Hardrock Haven is poised to have a breakout year as we bring more labels, artists and bands to your doorstep for your reading pleasure.

I can't say enough positive things about the current Hardrock Haven staff. Kathy, Chris, Derric, Curt, Edwin, Mike, Matthew, Kim, Steve, and Franco (as well as our "unofficial" staffers: Gary A. and Gary M.), you guys rock!
