20 Best Chicago Music Blogs and Websites in 2024
Chicago Music Blogs
Here are 20 Best Chicago Music Blogs you should follow in 2024
1. Pitchfork
Pitchfork, an influential online music publication, was founded in 1996 by Ryan Schreiber. Initially based in Minneapolis, the site quickly gained a reputation for its in-depth and sometimes unconventional music reviews, which helped shape the tastes of a generation of indie music fans. Schreiber, who started the site during his college days, moved its operations to Chicago as it grew in prominence. Pitchfork's impact is highlighted by its role in propelling artists like Arcade Fire and Bon Iver into the spotlight. Over the years, the publication expanded its offerings to include news, interviews, and multimedia content such as Pitchfork.tv, an online music video channel launched in 2011.
