NEW FORCES IS BACK!!! Hey, y'all - it's happening. I am happy to announce the return of New Forces permanently (as long as sports doesn't kick us off...we will be on HD2 if so) to your favorite local airways of WREK 91.1 FM!!! I am your new host - Nate Ryerson! A bit of background on myself, I am a 1st-year electrical engineer here at Tech as well as a local punk rock/math rock/noise rock/insert adjective here musician. In my free time, I build guitar effects pedals and go to local shows and I also act as the booking officer for a fellow club here at Tech called the Musicians Network (GTMN). I reached out to one of the former hosts and sat in on some shows, and now I'll be sticking around to take over the show permanently! Today's mix has a focus on my favorite local acts in the garage rock/punk and underground rock/punk circles here in Atlanta as well as some popular math rock and punk rock classics from the past few years! Hope you enjoy (ɔ •◡•)ɔ ♥
