Noisecreep was a music news platform based in the United States, dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal genres, and was introduced by AOL Music in March 2009. It represented AOL's fourth specialized music portal, following Spinner (rock), TheBoot (country), and TheBoomBox (hip hop), all managed under AOL's MediaGlow publishing branch.
The website concentrated on delivering news and conducting interviews, with an emphasis on promoting emerging hard rock and metal artists, filling a niche often overshadowed by mainstream bands such as AC/DC and Metallica that typically receive extensive airplay. Additionally, Noisecreep offered a video podcast titled the "Creep Show," which showcased interviews with various bands.
On April 26, 2013, AOL Music discontinued Noisecreep along with several other assets. Later, on June 2, 2013, AOL transferred ownership of Noisecreep, The Boot, and The Boombox to Townsquare Media.
