History
Started in 2009, the show was originally known as The Metal Shop but was changed in 2013 as the format and music genres of the show were expanded.
Show Segments
Advice from the Desk of Mr. Holland - A media company's error in printing Brad Hennington's name as Brad Holland in multiple publications led to the "behind the scene's" character, Mr. Holland. He's a super wealthy entrepreneur that gives male chauvinist, non-politically correct advice to the listeners.
Psycho Picks - Each week, show contributor Psycho Dave finds the 3 great new songs that are played as part of the Psycho Picks segment. Bands in this segment are mostly lesser known bands that are likely to be on the rise.
Cranked Up Five - Five of the fastest climbing songs on the Under The Radar chart at RadioContraband are selected and highlighted in this segment of the show.
Joke of the Week - It's a joke. It's done every week.
Dirtbag Clothing's Block of Rock - The Block of Rock is fast interview with one of the artists played on the show followed by one of their recent songs. The interview is done by Doug 'Dirtbag Smitty' Smith of Dirtbag Clothing and the hard rock band Quor.
