Creem Returns With Website and Quarterly Print Magazine

"Founded in Detroit, Michigan, Creem earned a reputation throughout the 1970s and ’80s as an irreverent tastemaker and foil to its main competitor Rolling Stone, helping promote local artists like the Stooges, MC5, and Alice Cooper. Contributors to the the magazine included Lester Bangs, Robert Christgau, Patti Smith, Cameron Crowe, eventual Pitchfork contributor Greil Marcus, and Dave Marsh, an early Creem editor who is credited as the first to use the term “punk rock” in a 1971 article on Question Mark & the Mysterians. “Having a certain sense of humor in the rock’n’roll culture–Creem nailed it in a way that nobody else has. It informed a lot of people’s sensibilities,” Thurston Moore said in a statement.

Creem’s digital archive, which comprises 224 issues & 69,000 photos, articles and reviews, can be accessed with a 30-day free trial until August, when it will be bundled with subscriptions to the print magazine."
