User:The Rock Relic

THE ROCK RELIC is the pseudonym for popular rock journalist Hugh "Chuck" Hinson. He is also known as "The Electric Eagle" and "Doc Rock" in some of his articles and blogs.

Born in Charlotte, NC, on August 15, 1950, Hinson began his musical career as singer in local bands throughout the 1960s, while documenting the styles and elements that made the new "Invasion Rock" (the refurbished rock-and-roll presented by UK bands during the British Invasion)so wildly successful. As the Beatle boom began to fade in the early Seventies, he began to collate his documentation and, using obscure songs from the Invasion period, created The Birth of Superock!, a 90-minute audiotape detailing the creation, success and influence of the British Rock phenomenon. He also promoted local rock bands throughout North and South Carolina.

Today, Hinson maintains four successful rock music blogs, a classic-rock music site and promotes the popular UK band, The Fore.
