What is Fusion Radio
We believe in a lot of things here at Fusion Radio. We believe that music is pretty much the best thing ever. We like it all, but being the adventurous types that we are, we really strive to find those tunes that push, expand, and explore the unknown while also embracing the undervalued.
We also believe that ideas, artistic expression, and listening to wonderfully insightful people entertain, educate, and enlighten us is also the best thing ever. We like learning about music, new ideas, and the people that create them.

Alternative Rock
View Alternative Rock ShowsSimply put, Alternative Rock is an umbrella term for any sub-genre of music that pushes the borders of traditional rock.Whether it’s the D.I.Y. mindset of Punk Rock (The Clash, Social Distortion), techno-tinged Indie Rock (Bloc Party, MGMT ), or brash and fuzzy Grunge Rock (Nirvana, Pearl Jam), it all falls under the mighty Alternative Rock genre. All that is required is that you turn it up real loud.
Loud Rock
View Loud Rock ShowsWithin the Loud Rock genre you’ll find music from the heaviest and most aggressive bands on earth. As far as the music in this genre, it’s far more extreme and complex then other lifestyles that young people become immersed into. The bands often played in this genre have a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos and emphatic beats. It is extreme, aggressive and most definitely loud!
