Want to hear James Brown discuss his problems with the tax man, read backstage interviews with the Beatles and Rolling Stones or listen to Jimi Hendrix's last interview? - Rock's Backpages is the database for you.
Rock's Backpages is the largest database of music journalism online offering access to over 14,000 articles from classic publications like Rolling Stone, Creem, NME, Melody Maker as well as music magazines like Q and Mojo and features writing by some of the most influential music journalists of the last 40 years. Coverage ranges from the birth of Rock and Roll to the present with every permutation and musical sub genre name checked along the way.
It can be searched by artist, writer, keyword (song or album title) or genre. The searchable audio archive features downloadable MP3 files.

This database should be of specific interest to journalism, media, communications and cultural studies students but the range and depth of musical tastes catered to mean it is a really enjoyable site for anyone with an interest in music just to browse through. Trial access (on campus only) will run until March 6th. Enjoy!
As always, let us know what you think of this database and whether you found it useful by emailing library@dbs.ie or laura.rooney@dbs.ie
