Sick of hearing the same songs playing on the radio when you get off work? Get up for work at 5 PM and you like to rock out the moment you wake up? Other reason why you’re listening to the radio at 5 on a Friday? Well, let me offer you an alternative:
Join us for CHSR’s own Run For Your Life, which features host Matt Nightingale alongside a random list of guests, though most frequently Guest 1 who is known only for the label on his microphone. Run For Your Life is an underground-focused rock/punk/metal show which takes requests! Also, we’ve decided that all of you need lessons in survival that are entirely irrelevant. Sure, follow our advice. It won’t help you. But at least you’ll be smiling when you disappear off the face of the Earth.
Fridays at 5 PM, only on CHSR 97.9 FM.
Be sure to check out the feature song of the week from Beneath The Grid, based out of a golden helicopter somewhere in the Galapagos Islands. Or something random like that.
How Can I Get My Awesome Metal/Punk/Metal stuff on air? Or just randomly harass the hosts?
Toss a message Matt’s way at RunForYourLifeCHSR(at)gmail.com or find him on facebook. He’s usually pretty good about stuff like that. Usually.
Tune in to find out about the history of music!
We don’t go that deep. Instead, it’s just music that’s good. Relax, put your feet up, and then headbang. Any spinal cord injuries are not covered by CHSR or RFYL.

Solid tracks from the darkest, deepest depths of my archive. Or, maybe I just decided to put all of my music on one giant playlist, hit shuffle, and pull a bunch of tracks out to play this week.

The backlog begins! Visiting some bands from years gone by, this episode kinds of jumps all over the place.
