HardDrive Adds Three New Rock Affiliates Nationwide

HardDrive

BruteHawke Industries, producers of the long-running rock radio show "HardDrive with Lou Brutus," has announced the addition of three new affiliates to its weekend lineup. The program, which debuted in 1996 and remains America's longest-running Active Rock show, continues to expand its reach heading into its 30th anniversary year.

The latest stations joining the HardDrive network are KFMW-FM (Rock 108) serving Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and Dubuque, IA; KXLR-FM (X Rock 95.9) in Fairbanks, AK; and WZZL-FM (106.7) in Paducah, KY.

With these new affiliates, HardDrive and its weekday companion HardDrive XL are now heard in more than 100 U.S. markets. Next year, the brand will celebrate three decades on the air, with plans to revisit highlights from its extensive archives dating back to the height of 1990s rock.

Just in time for the season, the new affiliates will also air the show's popular annual HardDrive Halloween Hootenany, featuring themed tracks and guest appearances by Slash, Seether, Ice Nine Kills, Halestorm, and Avatar.
