NYC punk/rock ‘n’ roll 4-piece WYLDLIFE recently released the new single "Fast Dreams" (featuring the b-side-- a spirited cover of Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How It Feels"). The tracks mark the band's first output since 2020's ‘Year Of The Snake.’

Boston's The Shang Hi Los bring together a powerhouse lineup of talent. Featuring Jen D'Angora (Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents, The Dents), Dan Kopko (Watts, The Peppermint Kicks), Lee Harrington (The Neighborhoods), Chuck Ferreira (Eddie Japan), and Chad Raleigh (The Rationales), the band blends their diverse musical backgrounds into a unique, energetic sound, delivering an unforgettable mix of rock and pop that has quickly captured the hearts of fans across the city and beyond.

Joy Buzzer has swiftly ascended as one of New York's premier power pop acts with their infectious blend of catchy hooks and high-octane energy. Formed in 2021 by members of The Lord Calverts and the Doppel Gang, the band draws inspiration from power pop legends like Fountains of Wayne, XTC, and Squeeze, delivering big melodies and euphoric choruses.

What do Little Richard, The White Stripes, Darlene Love, The Beatles, and The Ramones have in common? Little Steven’s Underground Garage! Maximum Rock and Soul!

In April of 2002 Stevie Van Zandt launched Little Steven’s Underground Garage, his internationally syndicated terrestrial Rock and Soul radio show. Each week Little Steven takes audiences on a two hour trip through all 60 years of Rock and Roll, and it's roots. Not only does The Underground Garage play the coolest Rock records ever made, but it has helped introduce over 1000 new bands throughout the history of the show including The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Hives, Arcade Fire, Gaslight Anthem, The Black Keys, Rival Sons, and more to an international audience. Over 40% of the format is dedicated to new music and emerging artists.

The show also features pop culture history, Steven’s anecdotes, fun facts, and occasional interviews. It is broadcast on over 80 stations in 200 plus markets, including internationally in Canada, UK, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Peru, and Australia, as well as worldwide on the American Forces Network and Voice of America.

Over 1000 consecutive weekly episodes have aired and have included such special guests as Jack Black, Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, Peter Wolf, Iggy Pop, Ringo Starr, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen, and has been endorsed by legends like David Bowie, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, Robert Plant, James Hetfield, Debbie Harry and many, many others.

The success of the radio show has allowed Little Steven’s Underground Garage to expand beyond the world of radio into television, live events, albums, satellite radio, and more.

In 2003, after the success of “Little Steven's Underground Garage,” the newly launched Sirius Satellite Radio recruited Steven to create it's FIRST original content. He would start the service's first 24/7 branded music channels, while also continuing to record his syndicated terrestrial show. One channel was “The Underground Garage.” Stylistically the format is a continuation of the syndicated terrestrial show. While radio was turning towards computer generated playlists, Steven would go in the complete opposite direction and hire Rock and Roll personalities from various backgrounds as DJ's to add their own stories and anecdotes to the music.

"Life is a carnival! It's much more beautiful to live it singing." If you're unfamiliar with my life's mantra, perhaps you’d recognize it if I were instead to say "la vida es un carnaval, es más bello vivir cantando."
