Classic Rock Magazine launches new app

Classic Rock, the leading rock magazine, has announced the release of This Day In Classic Rock, developed in conjunction with leading music App developers This Day In Music Apps.

It is a brand new app available exclusively worldwide through iTunes from 19th November for £1.99/$2.99.

According to Future: This Day In Classic Rock is a one-stop-shop for your daily dose of rock. It includes many daily rock facts, rock trivia, an interactive quiz with a running score, plus 75,000 words of expert critical and historical analysis of 50 classic rock albums – from AC/DC to The Who and everything in between. Additionally there is a free rock ringtone, unique to this App, and two free wallpapers with every download.

The App gives you the opportunity to learn more about 50 of the greatest albums of all time. Expertly critiqued, you can listen to tracks as you read the notes, if you have the tracks in your device’s library, and if you fancy expanding your music collection, the App gives you a direct link to iTunes to download extra tracks you don’t already own.

With more than 2,000 facts already uploaded, a number that continues to grow, these cover all the major rock musical happenings including classic album releases, artists’ birthdays, drug busts, arrests, festivals, tours – if it’s interesting and a fact, you will hear about it on its anniversary.

There is also a daily dose of rock trivia ammunition to take to the pub, office or even just to fire at people on the bus. Did you know that guitarist Steve Vai keeps bees as a hobby? That Ian Gillan was in the same class at school as Pete Townshend? This Day In Classic Rock will make sure you do!

Test your musical knowledge on all things rock in the Interactive Quiz, pitting your wits daily against the This Day In Rock and scoring your efforts with marks out of 10.

The free rock ringtone and 2 minutes of a free rock track have been specially created by guitarist Anthony Drennan (Genesis, Clannad, The Corrs, Mike & The Mechanics) and is exclusive to this App.

The Classic Rock App is all the rock you need – every day – for just £1.99/$2.99.
