2006's Biggest Impacts On Altrok Radio

by Altrok Radio

Here's the bands that made the most impact in 2006 - because they got played more than anyone else - at AltrokRadio.com:

The most:
  • Graham Coxon
  • The Futureheads
  • The Long Blondes
  • The Pigeon Detectives
Followed by:
  • Arctic Monkeys
  • Bromheads Jacket
  • The Church
  • Duels
  • Forward Russia!
  • Little Man Tate
  • The Oohlas
  • The Pipettes
  • The Rifles
  • The Thermals
  • Tokyo Police Club
With an honorable mention for:
  • New Young Pony Club
(Because while they didn't get as much play, we did play everything they released.)

We're compiling the top 100 songs of the year - and it's pretty much a lock that you'll see something from each of these bands on it.

But who's #1? Watch this space...

Please Look At Our Advertisers (Or The Website Gets It)
Congratulations, you've found the hidden text.
 
Welcome to Altrok.com, also available at AltrokRadio.com and AltrockRadio.com. Here's where the remaining listeners of several fine radio stations have retreated, regrouped, and built a replacement strong enough to stand on its own. It builds on the independent legacy of New Jersey's FM106.3, New York's WPIX and WLIR, Oklahoma's 105.3 The Spy, the pre-buyout mindset of KROQ, WBCN and WHFS and of every other alternative station that was destroyed at a moment's notice - not because they weren't making money, but because there was bigger money to be found elsewhere.
 
We've stood by as truly independent alternative rock radio died. Sure, something called "alternative" took its place, but we know for sure that anything that "tests well" with soccer moms just ain't alternative. (Even if some of us happen to be soccer moms.) So we've taken matters into our own hands.
 
This really is independent alternative rock radio, visible here at Altrok.com and audible at our web radio station. It has the classic music that fired our passions back in the day - or that we maybe only heard about from our elders - but it's mostly made of the new music that does precisely the same for us now. We're paying attention to scenes all over the world, watching the energy build, and waiting to see what it creates. Wherever it happens, we'll make sure you can hear about it here. We've been slowly building all this since 2001, and now that you've noticed us, we're glad you're here.
 
Of course, it's only here because you want it to be here, and it can only stay if you help it along - especially by checking out our advertisers (they support us) and by listening (the more that listen, the more visible we are.) Please use the "feedback" link above to let us know whether it works for you, and what you want it to be as the future unfolds. (And if you need help hearing it, let us know that, too.)
