BreakThru Radio Premieres "Rock Block" With DJ Darkside, Showcasing The Best Independent Rock Around The World

New York, NY (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- BreakThru Radio (BTR), the Internet's voice of the World's Best Independent Music, announced today a new specialty show from DJ Darkside entitled "The Rock Block." Stepping away from his metal every other week, Darkside will focus on all things hard rock, sure to keep you amped and ready.

Rock music has gone through many changes over the decades. New names and faces have emerged, and yet there are the chosen few that are carried on the backs of major labels and are chosen as the mainstream figure heads. According to DJ Darkside, there are far too many deserving bands that are not given the time of day and are denied the recourse's that are essential in getting their music out there. With "The Rock Block," it's time for a change.

"The Rock Block is just another example of BTR's goal to deliver the best in diverse, quality programming to our listeners," said Annie Russell, BTR's Music Director. "We're committed to providing our listeners with the variety that commercial radio just doesn't offer. DJ Darkside will be showcasing the best new hard rock artists not heard anywhere else."

Like BTR's other specialty shows "The Rock Block" strives to give a global platform for the many deserving talents, many for the very first time. Tune in on Friday, February 2 to hear the likes of Shaolin Temple of Boom, Ostracoda, Rosella, Samorra and more.
