The Rock Em Dead Show – Alternative Music Without Boundaries
The Rock Em Dead Show on Rocking Fox Radio is anything but your average music radio programme.
Presented by Mark Rock Em Dead, this weekly show explores alternative music, unexpected discoveries and sounds that refuse to fit neatly into a single genre.
Forget predictable playlists and conventional radio rules. Instead, prepare for a musical journey where anything goes, provided it meets Mark’s philosophy of keeping it real.
How to Lose Listeners and Alienate People
The Rock Em Dead Show has an alternative title that tells you almost everything you need to know about its approach:
“How to Lose Listeners and Alienate People”
It’s a deliberately tongue-in-cheek description of a programme that doesn’t worry about pleasing everyone.
While Rocking Fox Radio already has a dedicated punk programme, Mark takes a different approach. His show explores a much broader musical landscape, drawing on different genres and styles without being restricted by conventional expectations.
As a result, listeners might encounter something familiar one moment and something completely unexpected the next.
Music Without Rules or Restrictions
Unlike traditional radio programmes built around tightly controlled playlists, The Rock Em Dead Show embraces musical freedom.
Mark isn’t afraid to play longer tracks, explore unusual sounds or challenge listeners with music they might not ordinarily choose.
Furthermore, the programme doesn’t restrict itself to one particular genre or era. Instead, the emphasis is on discovering worthwhile music, whatever form it takes.
Whether a track is short, long, familiar or obscure, it’s the music itself that matters.
Expect the Unexpected
The Rock Em Dead Show is designed for listeners who enjoy exploring music beyond the obvious choices.
You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next, and that’s part of the attraction.
Mark encourages audiences to approach the programme with an open mind, a decent attention span and a willingness to embrace the weird.
Along the way, he’ll sort the wheat from the chaff, sharing his selections from across the musical spectrum.
Behind the microphone is Mark Rock Em Dead, founder of independent record label Rock Em Dead Records and a lifelong punk music enthusiast.
His background includes running his own record label, reviewing live music and interviewing musicians, including John Lydon.
However, his radio programme goes far beyond punk, reflecting an interest in music that refuses to be confined by genre.
