Rock's Backpages is an online database of rock music writing, with material dating from the early 1960s to the present day.

The library of articles includes reviews, interviews and features, which are fully searchable and presented in full-text. The database also includes Mp3 audio files of original artist interviews, which are available for the first time. There are now twelve thousand articles on the site, featuring over two thousand artists with up to fifty new articles added each week.
