Not an expert, just a fan with a record collection and a soft spot for power pop, punk, garage, and indie. Each episode of Pop Rocks Radio is your weirdo mixtape from the margins — built to get you excited about these artists and support their work. Like what you hear? Go buy the music and show the love! If you’d like to support this show, you can buy us a coffee on Ko-fi — or send some sats if you’re listening on Fountain, Podverse, or TrueFans. Every boost, comment, or coffee helps keep the mixtape spinning! We also dig deeper on our YouTube channel , where we spotlight favorite bands, uncover long-lost treasures, and celebrate all things catchy. Find more at poprocksradio.online (yeah, I know—it’s a little on the nose).
