Rock 2.0

ROCK 2.0 traces its DNA from a skeletal structure built by Ozzy Osbourne and Guns & Roses, while the core muscle of the format is heavily built on 90’s hit makers like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots. It then reaches forward embracing newer acts like Disturbed, Pretty Reckless and Cage The Elephant. DNA really is the perfect word to describe the thread that binds together Rock 2.0’s tremendous variety in texture and era with the strength and balance of familiarity. This is ROCK radio… version 2.0.
