Radio Underground: live radio uit Warsaw

Eeeven...

De naald wordt afgestoft…

Radio Underground

DIY or die, still not dead.

Polish punk, oi! , and ska, Jarocin to the present day.

Adam started Punkowe Przedszkole on 14 March 2010 as a Sunday-evening show, and by 2013 it had outgrown the slot and become a station of its own. He presents it himself, has played in a run of Polish punk bands along the way, and covers the servers out of an IT job and a couple of dozen Patronite backers. It has never carried an advert. Upwards of four hundred bands from more than thirty countries have come through its shows, and something like seventy albums carry its patronage.

A dozen or so shows fill the week. TZN Punk takes the global beat and the rockabilly-to-hardcore end, Pan Nikt runs the interviews, Macieja handles metal, and two go out in English: Miras from Massachusetts on American punk, Chris from Toronto on d-beat and grindcore. The rotation sets 1980s demos and archive tape against whatever arrived this month. Every January it becomes a live charity auction.
