Shades of Punk is all about discovering & sharing new music that sparks joy; the bands that remind us of our favourite, punk-influenced bands growing up, and finding the contemporaries of the favourites that were missed along the way. From Bad Brains to Beartooth, Hüsker Dü to Hot Milk, and NOFX to Neck Deep--if it has its roots in punk-rock, you'll find it here on Shades of Punk. https://www.facebook.com/shadesofpunk897fm

Are you awake when you shouldn’t be? Driving home? Staring at the ceiling? Good. You’re my people. Medium Late-Night Chaos with Ken is live 10pm–midnight, serving up local music that actually means something, absolute classics that hit harder after dark, and just enough comedy to keep you from drifting off the road or into your own head. Psychologists, musicians, night-shift legends, and the occasional wildcard drop in to stir the pot. No scripts. No fake hype. No “coming up after the break” nonsense. Just real conversation, late-night honesty, and a bit of controlled chaos.
