Wednesday Alternative Artist Discovery #Happens

September 18th, 2024

Happy Wednesday! Your Happens.vip Alternative Artist Discovery Of The Week is The Ramona Flowers. The UK band’s new single “Dangerous” is chart bound at Alternative. “Lyrically it deals with a topic everyone can relate to,” says drummer Ed Gallimore. “The devil on your shoulder, often fun in the moment but that you know is dangerous to indulge. Even so you can never seem to leave it alone. Everyone at some point has dealt with something like that, we four certainly have in different ways. Hopefully when you listen to Dangerous you can connect with that sentiment.” Big thanks to Todd Sievers from CO5 Music for VIP Access. 

Green Day “Bobby Sox” is #1 Most Added this week on the Mediabase Alternative Add Board. Congrats to Warner’s Rob Goldklang, David Ravikoff & Crush Music’s Capone on all the early adds. It’s the follow up to Green Day’s #1 single “Dilemma.”

Ratings Love! KIWR (89.7 The River)/Omaha increases 2.5-3.1 in the latest Nielsen August ‘24 12+ Ratings. Sophia John says, “We are creeping in on 30 years as an Alternative radio station. We’ve raised a lot of kids that are now parents. If you stick with something it works!”
