Kamelot’s Alex Landenburg launches music streaming service ROKK
ROKK is a new music streaming service for the world’s rockers and metalheads.
A new chapter has begun for rock and metal music with the launch of ROKK – the ultimate streaming platform for all things hard and heavy, with superior sound quality and finally fair compensation for artists at its core.
Co-founded by Alex Landenburg – drummer for Kamelot and Cyhra and previously with Annihilator, Axxis and Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody – and Peter Moog, guitarist for Mentalist, ROKK is the first service to offer direct artist support for your favourite band or musician right in the app. Fair music streaming, by artists for artists, and real music fans!
“After nearly four years of hard work, Peter Moog, myself, and our dedicated team behind the scenes – are beyond proud to finally officially launch ROKK!” says Alex Landenburg in a press statement.
“As a professional drummer and lifelong metal fan, I have spent over two decades touring, recording and experiencing firsthand the struggles musicians face – especially when it comes to streaming revenue in this modern landscape. My co-founder, Peter, shares the same passion for music. Together we decided to do something about this. ROKK is not just another streaming service – it’s about a community committed to giving rock and metal the recognition it deserves, where artists can receive fair compensation for each and every stream. One of the main reasons we built ROKK is to address a long-standing issue in the industry: the fact that most musicians have made very little to no money from their music being streamed. With our Direct Artist Support, you can help change that. An artist, over the course of a year, could see earnings equivalent to selling multiple records, and that’s already covered in your regular subscription fee.”
“To be transparent, just because we’re incredibly proud of ROKK does not mean it is perfect right out of the gate. We built this with a fraction of the capital other platforms started with, as well as a small but incredible team. We’re already hosting over 60 million songs and we add more every single day. In fact, we import well over 10,000 tracks each week. This is the chance to use your knowledge to help shape the definitive rock and metal database. What do I mean by that? Our in-app music encyclopedia, or as we like to call it, Rokkpedia.”
ROKK is available now on iOS, Android and on the web at rokk.app throughout Europe and the UK, with plans to expand to other territories soon.
