Archaic Spadium drop their new release HERE! on the Motor Live Drive Podcast for December 18, 2014

Program: 
Live From Studio J

We can't tell you how glad we are to have these guys back in Studio J! And with a new CD, too? Pared down for the stage to three, but still four in spirit, and recording studio, Archaic Spadium bring their self-titled release to WHFR to crank the hard rock levels back up where they belong. This is melodic. This is grunge. This is in your face, take no prisoners, Detroit rock at its best! Where? Motor Live Drive @ 5, of course.

Poor Player will enrich your musical experience. Just download this podcast for December 11, 2014

Program: 
Live From Studio J

Poor Player is a five piece band that takes to the stage with barrel house rambles, neo Dustbowl yodels, Tecumseh strums, and a hopped up grab bag of American riddles and laments. Saluting the guy flying a sign beside the highway exit, zigzagging through the post-industrial prairie, Poor Player is all about finding the roots beneath the rubble, the green beneath the ruin, the country blues in the pothole concrete, and the beauty in the city gone to seed. This is folk rock, Americana, alt-country at its finest. This is Motor Live Drive @ 5.

Danny D is the Epitome of Good Time Rock on the Motor Live Drive Podcast for December 4, 2014

Hometown Hamtramck Hero Danny D shares music from his newest CD, Last Call. Americana, country, rock, and one heckuva all around pop-soul singer. Don't squint your eyes at a live show, you'll wonder how you got Rod Stewart tickets! Fast forward seventeen minutes, the guys had quite a time finding the station. But when they got here, oh the music was great, moving, and oh so much fun. That's what Danny D brings! And he brought it to you, courtesy of Motor Live Drive @ 5. Still the only station making waves, WHFR.
