Sound of Pen delivers you the best that rock music has to offer via the ears of the most important new writers.

In 2017, Sound of Pen was established as a platform for a small group of young students from Kingston-Upon-Thames whose lives revolved around listening to My Chemical Romance and Creeper.

The idea was to mentor these scribes and to help them find their way in the ever-changing but always exciting music industry.

Pretty quickly, it became apparent that Sound of Pen was home to the next generation of important and inspiring rock journalists.

What we also realised was how much we absolutely need the perspective of this group of writers aged 14-22. They are the real music fans, the ones living precisely in that space into which all the greatest songs of our time are being fired.

Today, we have a team of the 13 most articulate and awesome journalists from across the country. They are school pupils and university undergraduates with no agenda. They don’t write about music to pay the bills. They don’t care about cool. Which, ironically, makes them very cool.

Like you, the SoP team exist in the here and now. They hear the music that unifies us for what it is. They feel its pulse and understand its potential to light you up.

As a music website, it’s our young, passionate writers that make us unique. It’s their fresh insight that makes us special. It’s their purity of vision and their integrity that makes Sound of Pen your first stop for music that means more than can usually be put into words.
