WKNC 88.1 FM - North Carolina State University Student RadioRadical Dad’s new album will burn you alive and give you a lot of joy too. This sick trio from Brooklyn features twingy, melodious rock backing the emotional scream-singing of frontwoman Lindsay Baker. This song “Slammer” will give you a sample of the high-octane rock n’ roll on this release. Highly recommended! – Dave Samuels, WKNC Assistant Music Director

WKNC
88.1 FM today announced the launch of its newly designed website, wknc.org. This
effort is the first major overhaul of the website since 2007 and features a
modular, mobile-responsive design.
Along
with the new look is a new online WKNC history exhibit that follows the station
from its origins as WLAC-AM in 1922 to its present multi-media operation.
The
project, modeled after the University of Maryland Libraries’ “Saving College
Radio: WMUC Past Present and Future” digital exhibit, features images and
stories throughout the history of N.C. State student radio, including a listing
of each student general manager.
More
than 6,000 users visit WKNC.org each month and the online playlist is the most
viewed section of the website.

A recently new resident to Durham, Jake Xerxes Fussell is hands down one of the best traditional musicians of today. Growing up in Columbus, Georgia, Fussell became well acquainted with the Piedmont blues musicians that were from the Chattahoochee Valley by touring and recording with legends like Precious Bryant, Black Rodeo Rider, Rye Whiskey Distiller, and Georgia Daniel. In this new self-titled album, Fussell teamed up with William Tyler to rearrange ten folk and blues songs that still retain their roots, but with more of Fussell’s original flare. – Local Music Director Clint Bowman
This Don Giovanni band’s new release, Nights in the Dark by CALIFORNIA X, sounds like that time you got all nostalgic reading a Buzzfeed list of “20 Toys from the 90’s That Were Totally Awesome” and then thought about your middle school crush and how you wish you’d had the nerve to say you LIKE-LIKED him/her during truth or dare at that birthday party the whole class was invited to. – Meggs Benedict
