Here Comes "The Other Side"
The Other Side with BC is rebooting after a 20-year hiatus. You’ll hear great alternative, independent, and local rock from artists you have yet to discover and those from your recent past.
The show emphasizes various sub-genres of rock; Neo-psychedelic, Art-punk, Post-punk, Post Brit-pop, and Garage. I'll also highlight local rock artists and sprinkle in deep cuts from classic artists from the last 60 years.
Please join me on Tuesdays at 1pm to hear what’s on "The Other Side."
