About

Riffwire is an independent news platform for the rock and metal scene: stories, tour dates, reviews, and honestly labelled rumors — no clickbait, no exclamation-mark inflation.

We write for people who go to shows and want to know what's happening in the scene. Rumors are treated as what they are: unconfirmed, but put into context.
