Boy Howdy!
In 1969, CREEM was launched in Detroit as a raw, unfiltered, unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll magazine, and ushered in a new era of raucous, participatory journalism.
For two decades, the mag broke barriers, rattled cages, and connected people to music in a way that has never been replicated.
After a cool 33-year hiatus, CREEM has once again risen from the ashes to move the focus of music journalism back where it belongs — on the fans. As much as we love musicians, we don’t care for the corporate music machine. We don’t work for the industry, we work for you. And when was the last time you had any fun reading about music?
CREEM 101
In the Beginning:
1969-1973
The publishing underground rises up and the world sees what happens when you give hippies electric typewriters and free records.
Golden YEars:
1973-1978
It was the dawn of a new era, and CREEM became the rock and roll bible of little booger-eating twerps everywhere.
The NEW WAVE:
1979-1986
After the departure of Bangs, Uhelszki, and Marsh, Susan Whitall keeps the underground punk rock flame burning bright.
