Enderrock is a monthly musical magazine published in Catalan, since 1993. It specializes in the promotion of pop-rock music in the Catalan language and around Catalan speaking areas.

On 2004 it was awarded with a National Award for the social promotion of Catalan language by Government of Catalonia.[1][2] Since 2001, Enderrock also organizes Sona 9 musical talent contest[3] and the Enderrock awards.[4][5] Magazine is published by Grup Enderrock, led by Lluís Gendrau. They also publish 440Clàssica.[6]

The magazine's name is a play on words because "enderroc" can mean "demolition" or "overthrow" in Catalan, similar to how rock music can be seen as disruptive.
