New York Rocker was a punk rock new wave magazine founded by Alan Betrock in 1976.[1][2] In 1979, it had a circulation of 20,000.[3] Betrock left the magazine in 1978, and Andy Schwartz took over as editor until 1982.[4] When the magazine suspended publication in October 1982, Schwartz said, "There are people ready to finance the magazine, to put it on the footing it should be on."[5] However, his optimism that "our chances are a lot better than others" of returning proved unfounded, and the magazine was closed that same year.[6]
It published a total of 55 regular issues during its lifetime, plus a May 1979 issue of pictorial content named PIX and two issues of a resurrected version published by Iman Lababedi in 1984.[7][8]
Ira Kaplan, guitarist and singer for Yo La Tengo, was a critic for the magazine.[9] The dB's wrote and recorded the song, "I Read New York Rocker" in tribute to the magazine and recorded several demos in the magazine's offices.[10]
