You can also find I Rock Cleveland on Facebook.
I've been called a lot of things during the past 2 1/2 years I've spent covering independent and underground rock music in Cleveland: The Best Local Music Blog (Scene Magazine Best of Cleveland 2008), a hot blog (Cleveland Magazine, March 08), and a "god awful blog" in "one of the most culturally devoid cities in the world" (Anono commenter Oct 08). Still, I persevere in my unending quest to present to you the best Rock 'N' Roll from Cleveland and The World.
I Rock Cleveland is written by Cleveland native Bill Lipold.

post a commentI just voted for you. Love your blog, and really really love the playlists you put together. I didn't even know there were any other local music blogs...
Honestly, I'm not sure there are any other music blogs based out of Cleveland. I've been asked the question before by labels, artists, etc, and I could never find any. Still, that doesn't mean one shouldn't excercise their democratic right to vote. Never underestimate the power of the people to vote for Pitchfork whenever they see the word music blog, even if Pitchfork is in Chicago and they're not a blog.
