STRUTTER'ZINE IS A FANZINE/MAGAZINE (PRINTED ON PAPER AND ON THE INTERNET) FROM HOLLAND, WRITTEN IN ENGLISH THAT IS ENTIRELY BASED ON AOR, MELODIC ROCK, PROGRESSIVE ROCK, POWER METAL AND RELATED STYLES. IT ALL STARTED AROUND 1994 WHEN THE GRUNGE SCENE RULED AND REAL ROCK AND ROLL HAD JUST BEEN PRONOUNCED DEAD. HOWEVER IN THE NETHERLANDS THERE WAS ONE GUY WHO DID NOT LIKE THAT FACT AT ALL AND THEN STARTED A MAGAZINE CALLED STRUTTER MAGAZINE. IN THE YEARS TO FOLLOW THE MAGAZINE DEVELOPED ITSELF TO BECOME A POPULAR READ AMONG REAL ROCK AND ROLL FANS AND IN THE LATER 90S THE WEBSITE WAS A BLESSING TO REACH EVEN MORE FANS AND NOW 12 YEARS LATER STRUTTER MAGAZINE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL. HOPING TO BE AROUND FOR ANOTHER 12 YEARS!
ALL THE
REVIEWS, INTERVIEWS, STORIES (everything to be exact) IS WRITTEN
BY GABOR KLEINBLOESEM, EDITOR OF STRUTTER MAGAZINE. EXCEPT WHERE

Our past-issues are put on hold for the moment, because the website and this magazine are taken so much time that I can't produce another magazine. However, if you visit this website you can see loads of reviews and stories of AOR from the past. Including lots of very unknown and undisovered AOR classics from the past such as THE HEAT ('Westend story'), RATHSKELLER, CRYSTAL, MUGGS, DAVID KENT, RON BOLTON BAND, VICTORY GROUP, PAUL GODFREY BAND etc. etc.
As for the past-issue, maybe someday in the future new issues will appear. Still there a few copies left of old past-issues. Past-issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are no longer available.
