Loud. Local. Free.
Dash Radio plays punk, noise, and whatever else our DJs cannot stop talking about. No ads, no playlists handed down from above, and no one in charge.
House rules
What we are about.
Dash Radio is a handful of people with a transmitter, a lot of records, and no one to answer to. These are the rules we made up.
Volunteer-run
Nobody here is paid. Every show, every fundraiser, and every late-night station ID is somebody's free time.
Local first
If a band from the valley sent us a tape, it gets played. The bigger the label, the lower it sits in the stack.
No ads, no gods
We do not sell the airwaves. The people who listen keep the lights on, and the people who play are free to play anything.
Always free
The signal costs nothing to catch, on the dial or on the stream. It will stay that way.
Get involved
Keep it loud.
The station runs on a few dollars from a lot of people. Chip in, or come down and ask for a show.

The numbers from our annual meeting: what came in, what went out, and the one expensive thing that broke in August.

A list of albums that came across the desk this summer and deserve a second spin.
