Welcome!
NJ Underground Magazine is written and edited by two music fans from New Jersey. In early 2007, Melissa Rodriguez and Claudia Lecca decided to make a magazine that
featured their favorite New Jersey bands and others touring the area.
NJ Underground Magazine prides itself in helping local bands. The first section of each issue is dedicated to giving a chance to local bands. They realized that there were only a handful of good rock magazines and none of them featuring smaller, local bands.
In February 2007 the first interview they booked was The Fall of Troy and in March Kaddisfly, Fear Before the March of Flames, and Punchline were booked. After scoring a couple of Warped Tour interviews (11 to be exact) NJ Underground Magazine was recognized by Warner Brother Records and since then has been interviewing Eyeball, Equal Vision, and Warner bands.
