RockIsDeadRadio

Hi, my name is Jon (williamsofjon) & welcome to Rock Is Dead Radio.

Contrary to belief, rock isn’t f*cking dead!

Growing up in Wiltshire, England, I knew it was radio. At ten, I started making demos on my Talkboy, & as I got older, my Dad let me use his Technics system so I could plug a mic in and record shows to the secondary cassette. Yes, I am nearly 40, how did you know?

In the summer of 2010, I moved to Canada & met John Shields, the Program Director of The Zone @ 91-3 in Victoria. & after a trial period, I got hired for the first time! I did Evenings & Weekends before I moved to The Midday Zone.

After a decade, I left The Zone in 2020 to start this project, formerly known as What was That?

I have nothing against commercial radio, but for half my lifetime the mainstream consensus has been that Rock Is Dead, & that, my friend, is utter bullshit! Rock Is Dead Radio is home to hundreds of bands and thousands of songs, with no release date older than the year it launched in 2020.
