Hip. Edgy. Alternative.
We launched
Roxwel.com in March 2006 as an alternative fusion site that caters to a base of cutting-edge music enthusiasts. We keep our site current with 4,000
Rock, Metal and
Indie videos from the hottest unsigned, independent and major-label artists. Additionally, Roxwel.com strengthens its online presence with offline ventures at the nation's most prominent music festivals--
SXSW, Lollapalooza, CMJ and
Austin City Limits to name a few--and we bring it all back to our users in the form of featured interviews and live concert footage. We also have our own Rock and Metal video blogs to keep viewers up-to-speed on the latest happenings in the industry, establishing Roxwel.com as a one-stop shop for
alternative entertainment and a premier outlet for the discovery of new music.
