Pitchfork

Pitchfork is an online music publication founded in 1996 by Ryan Schreiber. The site publishes daily album reviews using its well-known 0.0 to 10.0 rating scale, along with news, interviews, and artist features.

Coverage spans indie rock, hip-hop, electronic, pop, jazz, metal, and experimental music. Readers also find annual "Best Of" lists, genre-spanning retrospectives, and the "Best New Music" tag that often signals breakout releases.

Now part of Condé Nast and merged with GQ in 2024, Pitchfork remains one of the most influential voices in music journalism.
