THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO presents: A New Album Release Party With POP CO-OP

Sure, sure--This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio is on hiatus because of the viral cooties that have all of us sequestered 'n' ornery. That doesn't mean we're willing to skip our responsibility to serve up a release party for Factory Settings, the new album from Pop Co-Op.

Lacking our usual radio forum, we're takin' the party to Zoom for TIRnRR's first-ever interactive video edition. Dana & Carl will be joined on screen by Pop Co-Op's Steve Stoeckel, Bruce Gordon, Joel Tinnel, and Stacy Carson, plus Keith Klingensmith of the mighty, mighty Futureman Records label. We'll maintain social distance, but we'll play all fourteen tracks from this great new album, we'll throw in a few bonus tracks, and we'll talk about each fab song with the lads themselves. We'll even invite YOU--the loyal TIRnRR listener and/or Pop Co-Op fan--to participate, as the band will field questions and the rules of decorum will be largely ignored. Here's the official event description:

Sunday 3/29 at 9pm ET: a very special This is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl (normally airing on Spark Syracuse 103.3 & 93.7 FM).

Dana & Carl will interview the band and preview Factory Settings in a live broadcast interactive party using ZOOM.us. Join the Zoom to talk with the band and ask your questions. The party will also live stream on YouTube. 

(Hey, speaking' of YouTube: here's a little video sneak peak at Factory Settings.)


Details forthcoming, so stay tuned!

Factory Settings release date: April 1

Well, I'm sold! The album's great, this should all be more fun than a barrel full of lizards, and we hope you'll join us. Factory Settings by Pop Co-Op. Get set for Your Favorite Record Of 2020.
