Rip It Up is a bi-monthly New Zealand music magazine. Started in June 1977 as a free monthly giveaway, it grew rapidly, with its monthly print run reaching 30,000 copies by the mid 1980s.
The new magazine arrived at an opportune moment, with the musical revolutions of punk rock and new wave arriving in New Zealand in the first few years of its existence - two genres which the new magazine was to champion, alongside local music trends such as the Dunedin Sound.
For many years it was unequalled as a New Zealand source of information on rock music.
The magazine's back-catalogue also provides an unrivalled reference for information about the history of New Zealand's rock music.
The new issue of Rip It Up is out now, featuring the UK’s number one recording artist on the cover, the extraordinary Jessie J.
In this bumper film issue we talk to Hollywood A-listers Robert Downey Jr, Jeremy Renner, star of the upcoming hit Hunger Games – Jennifer Lawrence, Joel Edgerton, and Kate Beckinsale, as well as Ladyhawke, Rihanna, New Order, The Black Lips, Lamb of God, Henry Rollins, Das Racist, The Big Pink, First Aid Kit, Bic Runga, Soul II Soul, Gappy Ranks, Roky Erickson, Band of Skulls, Myele Manzanza, God Bows To Math, and heaps more.
