“THANKS ROCK SOUND MCR SALUTES YOU.” Gerard Way

EXPOSURE

EDIT Wow! We’ve reached a milestone in Rock Sound’s history – our 150th issue. Over the past 12 years we’ve covered so many amazing bands (and the odd duffer). We’ve launched the careers of many acts, given a huge helping hand to others, brought you some amazing touring action, featured over 2,000 tracks on our free CDs and hopefully helped you grow your music collection. This will be my last issue at the helm of good ship RS. It’s been one hell of a ride and I’m extremely proud of all that myself and the dedicated team have achieved over the first 150 issues. I’m heading Stateside, but remember every end is a new beginning and Rock Sound is in good hands. Here’s to another 150! Darren Taylor, Editor
