South Florida Local Rock: Album 8 '87 - '97

You heard many of these bands in this eleven-album series on the South Florida airwaves of the non-commercial outlets of WVUM and WKPX, as well as WDNA -- before that station became an all-jazz outlet, broadcasting as a non-profit public access/variety station that aired many alternative music blocks. A few earned airplay on the "Locals Only" programming blocks of the mainstream/commercial radio rock outlets WZTA and WSHE in the early '90s, as well as the specialty show blocks at WAXY 790, around 1993 to 1994, when it was a community/brokered programming outlet. The "classic local" songs were heard on the early-to-mid '80s airwaves of WCKO "K-102," which held their annual "Homegrown Rock Festivals," while a few more (Z-Toyz with "Miami Breakdown," for example) had a video that aired on WKID-TV 51 Fort Lauderdale's weekend local music video show (the days of Cryer, Young Turk, Slyder, Tuff Luck, Stranger, Lifeforce, and Vandal, the Eat, Charlie Pickett and the Eggs, etc.).

This is posted in altruistic tribute to the local bands of South Florida that created the scene. All -- now 11, up from 7 -- "compilation albums" in this series features back-to-back music only. There's no "DJing" or other production elements: it's not a "tape rip" of any show or shift associated with any radio station.

* SPECIAL THANKS: To George Zhen for allowing the use of Some People's Children's "Via Satellite" in this local music tribute.
