Punkorama on the Edge (R.I.P.)
We’re sad to hear that Punkorama on The Edge is now officially off the air. Originally started by George Stroumboulopoulos and taken over by Barry Taylor and JD, they played our music as a virtually unknown band. We had been speaking back and forth with Barry via email about our new EP, which we had yet to release and we had not even played live as a “band” yet.
We walked in to the street front studios and handed him a copy of our EP and he played us 3-4 hours later. They continued to support us and play our music as one of the very few unsigned bands on air each week, as well as bring us in for an interview and playing tracks off our new EP just a few months ago.
Again, an unsigned and relatively new band would never have the opportunity to do something like without the help of Punkorama who govern music by its merit rather than by what the music and program director THINK people like.
Thank you Barry Taylor and JD for your support of The New Enemy over the last couple of years.
That was huge for us.
