Talking to Walls

Playing shows in Boston, Philadelphia, LA, and many cities in between, the band’s relentless live performances have garnered them fans from all over. In an era of mindless friend adding on MySpace, Talking to Walls grew to know much of their audience the old fashioned way—show by show. Find out more!

Thousands of Long Islanders participated in WBAB’s Homegrown Superstar Contest, online and in person at Mulcahy’s. Thanks to you for showing your support of local music.

And congratulations to Silent Generosity, your WBAB Homegrown Superstars. You can see them live before Creed at Jones Beach! Check them out here!

102.3 WBAB-FM has been committed to the local musician in a variety of ways for as long as we have been playing music. Our local music spot light Homegrown has been at the forefront of this effort with three albums and it’s on air and night club presence. In an ever changing and growing world, we always strive to be better for everybody involved.

I am excited to announce that we have moved Homegrown completely to WBAB.COM. This will allow us to better serve the bands and listeners. Now instead of waiting until 11:45 each night for a song to play, we will post bands songs on wbab.com as we have in the past, but we will highlight featured bands.

The featured band will be promoted on air thus sending listeners to really check out the band. They will have a bio, pictures, links, songs and a video posted on their own page on WBAB.COM’s Homegrown section. The real value here is the name of the band being heard on the air several times versus one shot at the end of the day.

Web elements specifications that WBAB can accept are as follows:

• Video: WMV(windows media video,) .FLV(Flash video,) QuickTime: .MOV, .QT, .WMV, .AVI, .DV, .MPG
• Music format: MP3
• Images including pictures, band logos and album covers: .JPEG, .GIF
• Bios should be in plain text (no PDF)
• Links should lead to your own Website/MySpace/Facebook only.
