The team behind Green Room launches punk rock radio show
A new weekly radio show focused on punk rock is launching this week from film studio A24. Green Room Radio will feature music and interviews relating to the hardcore scene that should appeal to old school fans and posers alike. The first episode premieres today, and features Ted Leo sans The Pharmacists; on the show, Leo sits down with host Tony Rettman and shares tales from the old days, touching on some of the worst gigs he’s played as well as how the South Bend, Indiana native first got into punk rock. (Don’t worry, Rettman has street cred, having penned NYHC: New York Hardcore 1980–1990.) The show will also feature plenty of music from the likes of Born Against, Straight Ahead, and SS Control, and include elder statesmen of punk as well as up-and-coming bands influenced by the genre.
