About

I'm Jordan Hale, and I built Rock Critic for people who still feel music in their bones.

Launched in April 2025, Rock Critic is my answer to the glossy noise out there — a place where the heart, grit, and soul of music get the spotlight they deserve. No trends. No filters. Just real stories about the songs and artists that move us.

What You’ll Find Here

• Raw, honest album reviews
• Artist profiles that cut through the surface
• Cultural commentary with a sharp edge
• Opinion pieces that don't pull punches

Why I Started Rock Critic

Because music is more than background noise. It's rebellion. It's memory. It's blood and thunder and beauty. And it deserves more than clickbait headlines and throwaway playlists.

Stick Around

I publish fresh pieces every day — some short hits, some deep dives — but always with one goal: to honor the art and the people brave enough to make it.

Thanks for being here. Welcome to Rock Critic. Let’s raise some hell the right way.
