THE LODGE (Vocal Jazz, Rat Pack)
open.spotify.com/user/rockymountainradio More than a few miles out past the city limits and well off the multi-lane freeway, the pavement ends but a road of sorts continues to this place. The 'gravel road', my friend, is really no more than the gritty surface under

your journey; it's not a destination and it's definitely not the city. Now you can let loose or you can reflect.... in fact, why not both? Look, we grew up with hard rock and punk rock...we like our music to be in-your-face a bit. Gravel Road is that kind of music and it takes its influence from country, blues, and folk, with sprinkle of other "Americana" like bluegrass, gospel, and zydeco. Oh yeah, and rockabilly and some classic rock show up. Acoustic sounds, electric sounds, male voices, female voices, mostly uptempo, a bit of downtempo, new music, some from a few years ago and a few pieces of ancient history before your time, kid. Mostly the artists are from the edge of the mainstream, but we aren't going to pretend so heavy hitters didn't play here, too. (namedropping time...) Steve Earle, Whiskeytown, Lucinda Williams, Drag the River, Lydia Loveless, Red Eye Gravy, Patsy Cline, Grateful Dead, Hank Williams, Drive-By Truckers, Neko Case, Hayes Carll, Lyle Lovett, The Avett Brothers, The Be Good Tanyas, Uncle Tupelo, The Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Glossary, Johnny Cash, Son Volt, (are you with me so far?) Bob Dylan, Wrinkle Neck Mules, Brenda Lee, Calexico, The John Henrys, Hank Williams III, k.d. lang, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Crooked Still, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Elvis Costello, Carl Perkins, The Jayhawks, Freakwater, Wilco, Jerry Lee Lewis, (really? you're still reading..? ok let's keep going..) Elvis Presley, Corb Lund, John Hiatt, Justin Townes Earle, Billy Bragg, Kathleen Edwards, Lefty Frizzell, Little Milton, The Long Ryders, Ray Price, Lucero, Gillian Welch, Willie Dixon, Waco Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The SteelDrivers, Middle Brother, Nathan, Neil Young, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Ray LaMontagne, Reckless Kelly, Roger Miller, Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones, The Sadies, Romi Mayes, Ryan Adams, Chatham County Line, Holly Golightly & the Brokeoffs, and many, many, more....hey, send me your ideas if you got this far and you think this ain't enough.

Our Story

ALTITUDE songs convey a simple exhilaration, energy, and elevation - a compact and succinct expression of thoughts and sounds that can make you stop what you are doing and take notice ...and probably even turn up the volume. It's not just a big adrenaline rush; up at Altitude, you occasionally need to pause, catch your breath, and consider where you're at, where you've come from ... and what lies ahead. Some songs convey, with their words or a music or with both, a bit of reflection or contemplation for those moments. Deal with it.

If you want to think in "genres" then let's say it's 'alt' and indie rock, with a wide variety of known and lesser-known artists, a lot of uptempo music, plenty of guitars. It's strong but seldom heavy - its thoughtful but usually not dark. The super-deep rotation of Altitude means we are going to represent all the voices we need to; male voices, female voices, North American, UK and Europe, and vintages of music going back to every 'decade'. Some great examples are sitting in the playlist to the right --->

Speaking of history, the concept of 'alternative' or non-mainstream has been around as long as 'modern rock music'.....Velvet Underground, Big Star, The Stooges, the Kinks, not to mention B-sides and early work of famous artists - and lots of one-hit-wonders. The concept blew up in the late 1970s with 'the first wave' of punk and new wave like the Ramones, Elvis Costello, the Clash etc. etc. quickly followed by the emergence of alternative music as (sigh..) an identifiable 'genre'.

It means: Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf, Hole, Gomez, Metric, The Black Lips, REM, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, The Replacements, Band of Skulls, The Pretenders, Beck, Stars, Deer Tick, Bon Iver, Pheonix, The Ettes, Sloan, New Pornographers, Superchunk, Broken Social Scene, Husker Du, Bettie Serveert, Kings of Leon, Land of Talk, Portastatic, Liz Phair, Weezer, Young Rival, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, White Stripes, Real Estate, Tokyo Police Club, The Strokes, Radiohead, Teenage Fanclub, Best Coast, Veruca Salt, The Shins, Ryan Adams, The Raveonettes, Pinback, Mother Mother, Matt Pond, The Launderettes, Joel Plaskett, Imperial Teen, Holly GoLightly, Deerhunter, and hundreds more...
