Born and raised in the wilds of Staten Island, I made my way to WRRV way the hell back in 2004. I left for the big city, and then magically my radio station went under. I went to the wild west of internet radio, and magically my company went under. So I decided to chill a little bit. Then I had a kid. Now I’M BACK! Hang with me every weeknight from 7 to Midnight! Send me email or connect with me on Facebook and Twitter!

Feel like reliving a piece of your youth, with a band that's grown up with you?

WRRV Halloween Playlist: Bring Me The Horizon – And The Snakes Start To Sing
Bring Me The Horizon has been on the Vans Warped Tour scene for years, and has been a topline headliner in the UK and Europe for years. They've never QUITE broken through in the United States, but their album "Sempiternal" is a complete work of genius...
WRRV Halloween Playlist: (Crosses) – This Is A Trick
First off, the band of the band is actually 3 crosses, not THE WORD CROSSES.
Secondly, it's Chino from The Deftones. That should be all you need to know about how awesome this side project is.
It's more of a droning, downtempo electronic affair than The Deftones...
WRRV Halloween Playlist: The Used – The Bird And The Worm
Among all the emo/pop-punk bands that at times went kinda creepy and dark (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, etc), The Used hit the "Movie song that will creep you out" vibe out of the park. They had long used some creepy imagery. Box of Sharp Objects, Buried Myself Alive, I Caught Fire are just some of the titles they used to really get their point across...
Spartan Super Ends The Northeast Races For The Year
The Obstacle Course Racing season is almost at a close for the northeast. Tough Mudder had it's finally weekend at Englishtown, NJ, and the Spartan Super has one weekend left in Vernon NJ. This is the last major mud run for the northeast this year and it's normally one that makes you want to stop running OCR's anyways...
Halloween Playlist: Placebo – Running Up That Hill
This song was originally made by Kate Bush in the mid 80's. Placebo took it and slowed it down and creeped it out 25 years later.
And the original was almost forgotten.
I love me some cover songs. Every once in awhile, a cover will COMPLETELY obliterate the original song, and this is one of those times...
Gigantic Fan-Made Star Wars: Rogue One Supercut Trailer Will Blow Your Mind
**Possible Spoilers in the Video!!**
The first original movie story away from the main canon of the Star Wars universe is ready to come online. (If you don't count "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adevnture", which I DO NOT.)
It feels like there has been more buzz built up about this movie than even Episode 7...
Halloween Playlist: Echo and The Bunnymen
First of all, Donnie Darko should be required Halloween season viewing.
WRRV Concert Calendar: WRRV Sessions Artist in NYC on Monday
When Switchfoot rolled through Newburgh Brewing Company and did an acoustic set for WRRV Sessions, you got a sense of what these guys could do live. They're dynamic on stage and even more so with plugged in instruments.
So if you missed their Sessions and you wanted to catch up with them, your chance is Monday at the Playstation Theater in Manhattan...
Your Halloween Playlist: Jimmy Eat World – Gotta Be Somebody’s Blues
This song will creep up on you and scare you in a dark room.
