– Kevin McElroy Owner of Philly Rock Radio Alright, gather 'round for a heart-to-heart about cranking up support for Philly Rock Radio and in turn, fuel music careers. Picture this as our jam session – honest, raw, and full of good vibes. So, pull up a seat, and let's dive right in. Now, a lot of what I'm about to dish out applies to us at Philly Rock Radio just as much as it does to you, the bands and musicians out there. We're all hustling, juggling our daily grind, and squeezing in time for this passion project that doesn't exactly pay the bills. But hey, we're in it for the love of rock, right? Our gig as a radio station is simple: play music. We're like a gallery showcasing your paintings – we can't force folks to buy them, but we damn well want to display the best. We respect and cherish the artistry; it's about creating something out of nothing, and that's worth celebrating. We say it all the time, you work together as a team and finish what you started. That alone is something you can take pride in. Many people TALK, you DO. So, kudos to all you bands out there making magic happen. Now, let's talk numbers. We're all after that massive audience to spread the rock gospel and build a community of die-hard music lovers. But let's face it – it takes more than just passion; it takes cold, hard cash. Legal radio platforms, websites, merch – you name it, it costs. And musicians, we're not expecting you to sympathize, but we're all in this grind together. Our station and programs are like our bands. We're writing, producing, executing – all in the hopes of getting ears to listen, enjoy, and contribute. But here's the deal: we've got to bring the fire, and you've got to bring the heat. Now, let's talk strategy. Are you spreading your music thin, sending it to every station, show, and social media page under the sun? Pump the brakes – quality over quantity, my friends. We're here to elevate each other, not drown in noise. Let's get real about goals. Are you in it for the ego boost or the revenue stream? Because if it's the latter, let's hustle smarter, not harder. There's got to be a bottom line, a game plan. What if we all rallied behind one powerhouse promotion vehicle?” What if we all rallied behind one powerhouse promotion vehicle? Would it amplify our impact? Absolutely. It's not about putting all our eggs in one basket, but consolidating efforts in our own backyard market. Philly Rock Radio is ready and waiting, with legal platforms and open arms. I see so many folks trying to reinvent the wheel when we could be rolling together, building a rock-solid scene. Let's stop the solo acts and start the group jams. There's strength in our numbers. I believe that if we concentrate all our efforts on one entity, we will all grow faster. I get it, the allure of spreading out to every channel or seeking validation from terrestrial radio is strong. But let's be real – how long will terrestrial radio truly support your music? Are they giving you the recognition you deserve in your own backyard, or are they just giving you the runaround? It's frustrating to see terrestrial radio get praised for minimal effort when it comes to supporting local artists. There are countless incredible songs by local bands that should be regular staples on terrestrial rock stations, yet they're often overlooked. It's time to call out the lack of support and demand better. Sure, they can blame corporate all they want, but they have a voice and a platform to advocate for local talent. If they want recognition, they need to step up and fight for it. It's not enough to hide behind corporate excuses – if you want the credit, you need to earn it. So, let's shift our focus to one station where we can make a real impact. By making it "appointment listening" and rallying behind a single entity, we can amplify our reach and grow our audience together. Your music will have a permanent place in our playlists, far longer than any fleeting recognition from the big shots in town. It's time to ask ourselves – where do our loyalties lie? Are we supporting venues or stations that align with our goals and values? Let's choose wisely and build something meaningful together. Now, onto the checklist. Below are some items you can do to help Philly Rock Radio supprt your art:
Remember, when we play your music, you're reaching a global audience. You're not just a local act; you're part of something bigger. So, let's embrace our scene, celebrate our talent, and keep the rock spirit alive and kicking! In conclusion, let's band together and make some noise. Philly Rock Radio is more than just a station; we're a community of rock warriors. So, let's turn up the volume, support each other, and keep the rock spirit alive and kicking!
