About this listen

 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 are up to episode 107 of the vastly under listened to new music podcast hosted by former 20-year WBCN part-time dj, Shred for folks to hopefully hear in large numbers, but we seem to be perpetually working no that. 5 new songs by maybe not new bands this week, but amazing stuff nonetheless, new songs: LORDE, TWENTY-ONE PILOTS, SOMBR, ZARA LARSSON and THE BEACHES in 19:07 of concise engineering. Should be fun for any open ears to hear.

    We have transitioned to episode #106 and and added YouTube and SoundCloud to our listening formats, which we are very excited about to hopefully bring us to a much wider audience than fucking Facebook does, so lame. Former 20-year WBCN dj, Shred and 13-year local music director, plus 4 growing up in radio at Emerson College, WERS in a short 18:53 of listening time, hear some new bands, new songs by the likes of DRURRY, ALMOST MONDAY, LINKIN PARK, NEIKED with PORTUGAL THE MAN and WESGHOST. Enjoy the listen.
