Our friends at Punkrocks.net have called it quits. The long-running site posted this message on their website:

After seven years, three redesigns, two Warped Tours, several tragedies and one positive review of an Allister record (which we're still a little red-faced about), we've decided it's time for punkrocks.net to close our doors. While most of you may have noticed this two years ago, we've really lagged on providing new content, and it's become painstakingly clear to us that no one (particularly myself), has the motivation to keep this zine as a priority anymore.

Formed in 1999 by Kevin Wade, and staffed by a number of outspoken and often-times hilarious writers, the site was an early contemporary of Punknews.org. Over the years we've seen far too much of Mr. Wade's legs in Las Vegas, as well as worked together on content and reviews.

Staff members have gone on to join Pastepunk, Emotional Punk and Decoymusic.

In closing, Kevin adds: "To all the bands I gave scathing reviews to: thanks for taking it all in stride. I hate your music."
