About Rockscope
If you're only listening to music through your headphones, you're missing out on half the experience. Music is an experience that should be both seen and heard.Rockscope is here to fill the void and deliver music in a unique and visual way like no other online webzine.
Our primary goal is to promote music WE LIKE with the most up-to-date coverage in live music mainly through photo essays and write-ups to give our readers a visual passport into our eyes behind the lens.
Rockscope is hoping to build a network of like-minded and passionate photographers and writers around the globe with a single passion to share our love of music through the art of photography.
Music We Cover
Our general philosophy is to cover indie artists who deserve our love and attention.That includes indie, mainstream indie, buzz bands, and local artists who are ready to break out. If we like it, we want you to hear about it.
How To Join Rockscope
Rockscope is looking for journalists and photographers to volunteer and join our webzine as either editors or contributors.Editors
As an editor, your primary role is to green-light potential stories and to generally act as a filter for music that the webzine will cover. It will also be the editor's role to push articles to the front page and make sure basic quality standards and guidelines are met. The secondary responsibility is to assist photographers and writers in any way possible such as with writing (if needed), photo editing, or securing photo passes.Editors will play a crucial role in defining the publication and maintaining this webzine as a cutting edge and up-to-date publication covering the latest buzz bands and promoting groundbreaking acts that you feel everyone should be listening to if they aren't doing so already.
Also as an editor, you will have the most creative freedom to publish your own work and cover music you love the most.

Why Rockscope was created
I find photographers are some of the most passionate people I've met. And as a music loving wannabe photographer myself, I wanted to create a web site by photographers for photographers. I wanted to create a publishing platform for us to pursue our passion for both music and photography.I'm a strong believer that photos are meant to be seen and shared, not hidden or protected like private property. I want Rockscope be an outlet for us to share our photos and music with the rest of the world.
Here's to a great year in 2008!
