Riff Raff (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Riff Raff was a London-based monthly rock magazine that was translated into several European languages. It was founded in 1989 by Mark Crampton, a former graphic designer, and included among its writers Marc Liddell, Nick Douglas, Colin Liddell, later editor of Tokyo Journal, Joe Mackett, Peter Grant, and Mark Blake, an editor of Q Magazine. The magazine, which featured interviews with top rock stars of the day, including Kurt Cobain, the Manic Street Preachers, Marillion, and Megadeth, frequently failed to pay its contributors, and folded in 1995. By this time, neither the public or the music industry even noticed.
