Dogpile Music

tftd1Here at BrooklynFM we have good relationships with a lot of truly great people in the radio and music business, but every now and then we come across someone who is really passionate about their music and what they do. One of these is Al Penzone from PENZONE PRODUCTIONS.

Al is behind the three-CD compilation titled Tales From The Dogpile – Kevin Daly Gets Covered, featuring 34 bands and solo artists covering the music of Arizona songwriter Kevin Daly. The title is a reference to the friendly musical brawls that often broke out during Daly’s early shows.

You can find out a lot more about the CD set and the artists who covered Kevin Daly’s material at Dogpile’s website right here.

Al is a great guy who loves the music he promotes, and guess what, he features in our playlist under the pseudonym El Faro with his cover of Kevin Daly’s “Hypnotized”.

New Music Update

Keeping up with our policy of promoting new rock music as well as playing oodles of older great music we have just added another fifty plus fantastic tracks to our New Music Playlist.

bigmessIn our latest update we have great tunes from Manhattan Beach, California’s Big Mess. In their own words: Big Mess the band who loves to have fun and entertain. Big Mess is a band of veteran musicians who enjoy laughing and having a good time and most of all playing music. You could make a reality show out of them on and off stage. Everything they do is a group effort they write play sing drink and joke around together. That’s what makes them so much fun they like people they like hanging out and they even like each other. If you like Green Day, Weezer or Bowling for Soup you will love Big Mess. The band members are Chad Carrier-Bass and Vocals Rex Bailey-Guitar and Vocals and Bernie Deal-Drums and Vocals.
