Altrok Without Wires - Our New (Web And Not-Web) Radio Station

by Altrok Radio

For those peeking at us through aggregators, and RSS feeds, you might have missed the new decorations at the top of our pages. That's especially if you had given up on listening to us through Live365 for whatever reason (too hard to connect, too many commercials, etc.)

Those days of difficulty have come to an end. Drop by and check out the new iteration of Altrok Radio - you'll find it's surprisingly easy to connect to...and soon, it'll be even easier if you get your hands on an HD Radio.

For the sake of those who'd like a little sample, here's what we just played...

  • Underworld - Pearls Girl
  • Oingo Boingo - Only A Lad
  • Dave Dark & The Sharks - I've Resigned
  • Franz Ferdinand - A Song For 'Sorry Angel' (with Jane Birkin)
  • XTC - Ten Feet Tall
  • Brakes - sometimes always (with The Pipettes)
  • Arctic Monkeys - Cigarette Smoker Fiona [EFC]
  • Talking Heads - (Nothing But) Flowers
  • Love of Diagrams - Pace or the Patience
  • The Cute Lepers - Smart Accessories
  • Sparks - Music That You Can Dance To
  • Tom Robinson Band - 2-4-6-8 Motorway
  • The Prix - Shoot Out the Lights
  • The Answering Machine - Emergency
  • Midnight Oil - Best of Both Worlds
  • Tenpole Tudor - Wunderbar
  • Anemo - Fallout Renegade
  • Spoon - Written in Reverse
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away
  • Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - Trouble
  • Dexys Midnight Runners - Jackie Wilson Said
  • Amanda Blank - Shame On Me
  • Miss Alex White And The Red Orchestra - Picture My Face
  • Modest Mouse - Dashboard
  • Harlem - Friendly Ghost
  • The Ocean Blue - Between Something and Nothing
  • Crash Radio - So What
  • Ramones - I Just Want to Have Something to Do
  • Vampire Weekend - Giving Up the Gun
  • The Transmissions - I'll Run It
  • U2 - Some Days Are Better Than Others
  • Hoodoo Gurus - Like Wow-Wipeout
  • Best Fwends - Adultnap
  • The Psychedelic Furs - Dumb Waiters

And there's a lot more where that came from, because we don't have to limit ourselves to 8-hour playlists any longer. More music whenever you tune in, and the longer you wait, the more you miss. Hop on board...just click the Preview link at the top of our page here at http://altrokradio.com

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.)
