New York Rocker
New York Rocker was a punk rock new wave magazine founded by Alan Betrock in 1976.[1][2] Betrock left the magazine in 1978, and Andy Schwartz took over as editor until 1982.[3] In 1979, it had a circulation of 20,000.[4]
Ira Kaplan, guitarist and singer for Yo La Tengo, was a critic for the magazine.[5] The dB's wrote and recorded the song, "I Read New York Rocker" in tribute to the magazine and recorded several demos in the magazine's offices.[6]
