Tonight On Altrok Radio's FM Showcase

by Altrok Radio

You'll have to get out your FM radios for tonight's Altrok Radio FM Showcase, and tune it in at 90.5 (or over the net at 90.5 The Night.) What's in store?

There's some new Ida Maria and Futureheads (in a one-two punch with some classic Clash) plus UNKLE's cinematic collaboration with Richard Ashcroft. And there's Buzzcocks, too.

And Jessie Poland's alter ego Charlotte Sometimes, which Jeff Raspe picks this week (and which we'd like to hear more of.)

It's at 10pm Eastern on your radio at 90.5 FM in central NJ (or anywhere in the world via the Web at 90.5 The Night...why not link up now so you can get the pieces together and hear their superior low bandwidth/high quality AAC stream?)

Oh, and: tomorrow night? New Brunswick? Corner Tavern? Drew and Mike hold court once again - go there.

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
