Summary

 It's a new music show (mostly) hosted by 20-year WBCN veteran dj Shred. We believe we need to keep moving forward with what we listen to and want to share our musical findings with as many folks as we possibly can, because we feel the bands we play should be more widely heard like it used to happen when a band was giving airplay on the local radio station. I come from that world and think we need to continue to push it for a bigger audience to enjoy and give these bands a lifeblood. Email us at teamshred@comcast.net for feedback.

    We have recorded a little extra, additional show this week 153 entitled Hip Hop, as it's 5 artists doing tunes in the genre and we came across stuff we liked recently and decided to host an episode: 20-year WBCN dj Shred plays it and has KEY GLOCK, THAT MEXICAN OT, JT, OVL BIG FEDDY and FETTY WAP all in a very concise 15:40 free playing time for you to hear.
