Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a minute since we’ve refreshed our Echoes playlist, so here we go! All fresh (to this playlist) tunes that we’ve been bumping daily. Tune in and find your next song you’ll have on repeat!

Some of these are fresh. Some have been riding in the back seat for a while. None are here because they were pushed, timed, or dressed up to feel important. They’re here because they kept proving useful. Because they met different versions of the week without falling apart. Because when it was time to hit play on something, these were the ones that made the cut.

This week, these are the ones that stayed with us.

Press play. Rewire your week.

DIY/Independent bands featured this week:
Heartsick ft Sapphire Noel
Stormcrown
Saving Vice
To Be A King
Hollow Wake
They Are Behind Us
Ethyrium NC
Dead Within Days

🤘 WELCOME TO THE MOSH NATION FAMILY! 🤘

If you’re new here, welcome! Over the past few weeks, we’ve welcomed so many new members to the Mosh Nation community, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for being here!

If you’re just discovering us, here’s a little about who we are.

Mosh Nation is more than an online metal radio station. We’re a community built around supporting independent artists, introducing fans to incredible new music, and helping the DIY metal scene continue to grow.

We play underground and independent metal from around the world, feature up-and-coming artists, and work to give bands the exposure they deserve.

This year, we took that mission one step further by partnering with Haunted Photography to create Mosh Fest, a brand new DIY metal festival that brings together 15 incredible bands from five states, along with local vendors, great food, and an unforgettable day celebrating independent music.

We’re also proud to partner with Strange & Unusual Media, whose passion for storytelling and supporting independent artists helps shine an even bigger spotlight on the bands and community we all love.

Whether you’re here to discover your next favorite band, tune into the station, attend Mosh Fest, or simply support independent music, we’re excited to have you as part of the journey.

This is only the beginning, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Welcome to the Mosh Nation family. 🖤🤘

We are beyond proud of our friends at Mosh Nation and Haunted Photography for putting on this fest and masterminding all the bones behind it, like this sick idea of founding bricks! This type of festival brings the community together, and we absolutely can’t wait to experience it in person this August! 🤘🏻🖤💜💚

This is what community looks like.🖤

Every name on this Founding Supporter Wall Banner represents someone who took a chance on a brand-new festival. Some wanted to support local music. Some wanted to honor loved ones. Some wanted to leave their mark on something they believe in.

No matter the reason, each brick has helped bring Mosh Fest one step closer to becoming a reality.

We are beyond grateful for every single person, band, business, and organization that has become a Founding Supporter. We truly couldn't do this without you.

If you've been thinking about claiming your brick, don't wait. Brick sales end August 1st, and your personalized brick will become part of our Founding Supporter Wall Banner, which will be displayed at every Mosh Fest for years to come.

Thank you for helping us build something special, one brick at a time. 🖤🤘
