What people say about us

I'm very pleased...

“

We launched two weeks ago and we just passed a colossal 2million UK page views (1371% increase from the same period before launch). World wide we've just hit 4.5million page views - in the whole of last year, kerrang.com only had 10million so staggeringly we've done almost 6 months of traffic in two weeks. Some massive numbers there and they just keep growing – I'm very pleased.
