Who made Chinese Rocks?

Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts, first released in 1999.

Can I use Chinese Rocks on my website?

Not as a web font with the free desktop license. Use an image of the text, buy a web license, or pick a free web font such as Bebas Neue.

Does Chinese Rocks have lowercase letters?

No. The lowercase keys type slightly different capitals, which you can mix with the regular ones so repeated letters do not look identical.
