O.A.R. "In The Clouds"
(The Orchard)
Of A Revolution is a band that for
20+ years now has never quite fit at
Alternative, or AAA, or even the jam
band world. They kinda mix all of
these and have built a serious
groundswell following across numerous studio LPs and live releases. For The Summit, their roots at Ohio State (Columbus) and in Youngstown have always made them a regional favorite. This song is a memorable catchy anthem and recalls the early hits by Train in a surprising manner that you might not expect. Don't miss this one.
GETTING TO KNOW BRAD
Art d'Ecco "Only Ones"
(Paper Bag)
One of the most buzzed-about live
performances from the recent
NoncommVention conference at
WXPN/Philadelphia was Canada's
Art d'Ecco. Hailing from British
Columbia, the '70s-androgynous glam rock sounds recall David Bowie and T.Rex, with a look and tempo that is very welcome for summertime. There are two previous LP's and a forthcoming full-length that is sure to bring this emerging artist to the next steps of awareness and development.
Brad Savage grew up listening to great radio in the Twin Cities. He got his programming
idealism at REV105 and Cities 97 before moving to WCNR/Charlottesville, VA. In 2015 he joined WAPS "The Summit" in Akron-Canton-Youngstown-Athens, OH. With a slightly commercial ear, Savage is a voice of credibility in the Non Comm/Indie/Discovery community. He also programs WBDB-LP in Richmond, VA.
