About Our Site

British rock has shaped music worldwide. The Beatles, the Stones, Led Zeppelin, punk, and everything since have influenced generations of musicians. But there's never been a proper history of it all in one place until now.

MinistryOfRock covers everything from skiffle's early days through to today's music. Written by music journalist Chris Nickson, you'll find the full story: Liverpool's explosion, the blues legends, 1970s heavy music, punk tearing it down, the electro 80s, indie, dance culture, and right up to what matters now.

If you want to understand where British music came from and how it became what it is today, you'll find it all here.
