local rock

If you are a fan of the local rock scene, you have no doubt heard of Trepid. Their latest album, "In Henry We Trust," is a raucous roller coaster that delivers exactly what you'd expect, and the first single, "Rust," now has a brand new video!

Some exciting news for local rock fans and bands! The Homegrown Minute will be featured on The Rock Station 99X four times a day, beginning Monday, March 16, 2015. I've been gathering up all the info you've sent so far, and have put together some great features to showcase the awesome bands our area has to offer...

It's the moment local rock music fans have all been waiting for...the release of Moira Red's brand new CD "Avdai: A Musical Macabre."  It's happening tonight at Strange Brew in Shreveport, and includes special guests Gethsemani and Mr. Smith...

Shreveport's favorite Whiskey drinking,Gypsy Punk Country Grumble boogie woogie band, Dirtfoot is back in the studio working on their 3rd album. They have been working feverishly at Blade Studios trying to get this thing out. With that being said, they need a little help from their friends.

By now, if you spend any time at all listening to 99X, you're familiar with the band Digital Summer and their songs "Forget You" and "Just Run". You're probably even more familiar with Digital Summer's guitarist Jon Stephenson. Jon is a Shreveport native that honed his chops with local band (Lafayette/Shreveport) Karma Protocol...

Congrats to the Trepid gang, who reinvented themselves with a new singer and drummer and came out on top in the latest Homegrown Picks of the Week poll.

It's another Louisiana/East Texas hard rock/metal showdown...Tyler versus Monroe versus Longview!

Another awesome round of Homegrown voting this week. We've got Nothing More from San Antonio, Texas, Hounds of Jezebel (some of these guys are from right here in Shreveport-Bossier, but based out of Houston, Texas) and Chasing Daylight from West Monroe.

It seems that (former) Shreveport band Iwrestledabearoncelove horror movies. Apparently, they love horror movies so much, they decided to make their own. Starring themselves.

Congrats to our south Louisiana boys from Pandemic...they've won themselves light rotation on 99x this coming week!

Congrats to our latest Homegrown Picks winner...EndEffect! The guys ran away with the majority of last week's votes. Be sure to listen for "Useless" in light 99x rotation starting today.  If you just can't wait...enjoy the tune posted below...

Awesome voting week, gang!! More than 1,100 votes this time around, and Brothers N Arms has emerged the winner!
