In the late 80's and early 90's, the Chicago Rocker Newsletter was a free local publication that featured information, interviews and articles on local rock bands. As the hairband music of that time period faded away, so did the newsprint magazine. It resurfaced as a website around 2003, but that lasted only a matter of weeks. At the start of this year, the Chicago Rocker Newsletter returned as a section inside the Illinois Entertainer periodical. Now, the Chicago Rocker is once again back as a full-color, stand-alone magazine. The latest issues can be found at participating Chicagoland bars & stores. They can also be viewed as PDF versions on the Chicago Rocker's website. Additionally, the website has a brand new "store locator," allowing fans an easy way to find the latest issue an an establishment near them. The website is said to be soon adding local music and video to it, as well.
