ROUGH TIMES is NOT your classic webzine, don't expect to find here all the latest news & updates/reviews from bands & labels of the moment... That's NOT the idea... The idea is to give exposure to labels & bands & artists that I really LOVE.. I don't intend reviewing an album if this is not satisfying me or just because this is the last hype of the moment... I don't care and I don't care about the so-called "objectivity"... my musical tastes FIRST, love it or leave it !

Rock, Hard-Rock, Heavy-Metal, Hard-Core, Punk musics (and subgenres) have always been more than just "musics".. it is a passion, a life-style that accompanies me since the age of 13... Being just a "listener" went rapidly NOT enough... I have started acting for the scene back in the late 80's with first a fanzine (named INITIUM), then a band (no need to talk about this, no skill at all - ha !), and later small distro/labels.. before running more seriously more recent projects like INFERNO Records, BLEED Records, HAMMERED Blog... and now my new (and probably last ) project called ROUGH TIMES !
