Since their formation in 1978, they have become known around the world for their influential contribution to the origins and continued legacy of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar wizardry of founder and driving force Scott “Wino” Weinrich has left a mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire.
The Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC area of the USA in the early to mid 1980’s during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk together, the band gained the respect of punk heavy weight contemporaries Black Flag, The Bad Brains, and Minor Threat, to name a few. The attitude and spirit of The Obsessed has led many to regard them as “America’s Motorhead”.
Wino went on to join the doom metal giants Saint Vitus as lead singer on seminal albums including 1986’s ‘Born Too Late’‘. In 1990, The Obsessed came back with their eponymous debut album, “The Obsessed”. This album was quickly followed by 1991’s “Lunar Womb” and 1994’s “The Church within.
The band then signed with Relapse Records and recorded 2017’s “Sacred”, an album showing The Obsessed were back with pure vengeance. Sacred brought the band to venues and festival stages around the world.
In 2022 the band became a four piece with the addition of Chris Angleberger on bass and Jason Taylor on guitar. The band has been touring heavily since and have been seen on USA and European festival stages such as HellFest, Freak Valley Festival, Snowblind Festival and multiple DesertFests.
The band’s 2024 album, Gilded Sorrow, on Ripple Music, marked a new chapter in their legacy. The album captures the essence of the band’s classic sound while adding a fresh new atmosphere with a dual guitar attack. In 2025, Bob Pantella (The Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet, Raging Slab) joined The Obsessed on drums. To quote Wino, “This is the strongest The Obsessed has ever been. We are geared up and ready to play. We will be hitting your city soon!”

Jordana’s music has always possessed a unique sense of place.
You can hear the stillness of a Kansas bedroom on her 2020 debut Classical Notions… Humid late night New York walks on her double EP Something To Say To You. There’s the kaleidoscopic otherworldliness of Summer’s Over, her collab release with TV Girl. The unmistakable sunshine of LA on 2024’s Lively Premonitions. But on her new semi self-titled project, Jordanaland, the 25-year-old songwriter has officially crafted a place all her own.
“Jordanaland is definitely an escape from Americaland. It looks a lot like LA in the videos…for some reason. Weird,” muses Jordana. “But it’s wherever you want it to be, just close your eyes.”

What: WRUW-FM Telethon 2026
When: March 23, 2026 at 12 AM ET – March 29, 2026 at 11:59 ET
How to Donate: Go to telethon.wruw.org OR call 216.368.2208 between 8 AM – 12 AM
WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland’s annual Telethon fundraiser begins Monday, March 23 and runs until Sunday, March 29. Telethon is the one time of the year that we ask for financial contributions to support our mission of preserving the college radio listening experience and bringing “more music, fewer hits,” to the Greater Cleveland airwaves, as well as globally, via online streaming at wruw.org.
WRUW-FM is Case Western Reserve University’s independent, non-commercial radio station, broadcasting freeform music programs ranging from jazz, EDM, metal, folk, indie, showtunes and more 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. WRUW showcases local talent live on-air during “Live From Cleveland” and amplifies the voices of our community on public affairs programming like “It’s About Justice”, “Voices and Choices”, and “Gaywaves” in addition to being the largest carrier of the weekday syndicated news program “Democracy Now” in the state of Ohio.
In 2025, listener donations made it possible for us to purchase a new radio transmitter, reel-to-reel machine, two new digitizing robots, and live broadcast equipment. This year, we are focusing on raising money to cover the cost of installation of the new transmitter and supporting technology. This investment in our signal will improve sound quality, prevent drop outs, and fix other technical issues, giving our audience the best listening experience possible.
2026 has been a challenging year for non-commercial radio with dwindling arts-based funding and competition for control over the FM dial at an all-time high. WRUW-FM is vital to Cleveland’s music ecosystem, providing an accessible means for anyone to hear new, alternative sounds and underrepresented voices. This year, our college radio community has demonstrated their amazing ability to band together to protect freedom of expression on the left side of the dial. We encourage people to call from March 23-29 to 216.368.22008 to make their donation or contribute online at telethon.wruw.org to help us meet our fundraising goals and support our mission.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

People discover Chuck Ragan in different ways. Some people know Ragan from the pioneering punk act Hot Water Music he’s co-fronted for the past three decades. Others are aware of his successful solo career or the Revival Tour, a collection of traveling troubadours that included his peers like Frank Turner and the Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon. Some folks may have even come across him from the successful fly fishing operation he runs out of Grass Valley, California. The one throughline through all this is the way that Ragan approaches everything with a level of honesty and integrity that can’t be faked—and that sentiment is undeniable on Love And Lore, his first solo collection in ten years and one that’s being released as Hot Water Music take a well-deserved victory lap for their breakout album Vows, which came out earlier this year.

Throwing Muses released their new album ‘Moonlight Concessions’ in 2025 via Fire Records. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery. ‘Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin Hersh’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements, a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large – think Raymond Carver Short Cuts, overheard conversations, recounted happenings and telling one-liners, all sewed together to illustrate the times as they slowly mature, fully peppered with original Muses’ vim and vigour. Following a string of packed shows across Europe in Spring and Summer 2025, these shows are Throwing Muses’ first U.S. appearances in over a decade.
With nearly 40 years of Muses’ history behind her, Kristin Hersh continues to be one of the most compelling voices in American rock — a fiercely original songwriter and a magnetic live performer.

Markus Reuter rounds out the trio with his self-designed touch-style guitar, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a stringed instrument. His innovative approach complements the group’s progressive sound.
Stick Men’s music defies easy categorization, blending elements of Art Rock, Progressive Rock, and at times Progressive Meta. Their live shows are a testament to their improvisational prowess, featuring extended jams that showcase each member’s virtuosity. The band also pays homage to their King Crimson roots by performing select pieces from that legendary group’s catalog.
Stick Men continues to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive rock. Their unique instrumentation and combined centuries of experience make for an unforgettable live experience that will captivate audiences and leave them in awe of the trio’s musical mastery.

The Queers are the greatest pop punk band in the world!!! The band has released classic records like “Love Songs for The Retarded” and “Don’t Back Down” while playing around the world many times! Often times compared to the Ramones and The Beach Boys with a little Black Flag thrown in for good measure, the band plays nonstop for 40 minutes. Few other bands could play their set without stopping 20 times!

After a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, the Texas-bred/New York-based quasi-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all five of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016, 2017, 2021, and 2023), Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”
Snarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. They each maintain busy schedules as sidemen (with such artists as Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and D’Angelo), producers (for Kirk Franklin, David Crosby, and Salif Keïta), and solo artists (many of whom are on the band’s indy label, GroundUP Music). At its core, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. Japan, Argentina, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico all have representation in the group’s membership. But more than the cultural diversity of the individual players, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

No Need To Be Lonely, the latest from Philadelphia band Gladie, is serene, but for only just a moment. For a moment it’s a swirling dream, like paper dancing in the wind, as Augusta Koch’s voice filters in all calm and measured with words that crack the surface of the heart. “Small dose of humiliation/it keeps me humble/it keeps me waiting,” she sings. And then a snap as incandescent rhythms arrive like wolves at the gate, all guitar and drums like a whirling storm, and the crack on the heart tears until it becomes an ocean.
Each minute on No Need To Be Lonely is a memory carried out on the nerves of the body, unshakable melodies that become blood in the veins. There is something about a good and perfect song that lives in your bones, as if it has become a part of you. What has long been the unshakable core of Gladie’s prowess is Koch’s indelible strength as a songwriter, a craft that has only been honed with time, creating inalienable hits that will burrow in and never leave the core of your memories.

Afie Jurvanen does not spend too much time in cities these days. For nearly two decades, Jurvanen was a fixture of the Toronto scene, both as a valued multi-instrumentalist and producer for friends like Feist, The Weather Station, and Kathleen Edwards and as the architect of one of his country’s most celebrated artists, Bahamas. Jurvanen came of age across Bahamas’ first six albums, the restlessness of jumpy early hits like Pink Strat and Barchords slowly shifting into the generous domesticity of 2023’s Bootcut. But Jurvanen has long been drawn to open spaces, to a quieter life. In 2009, the year of his aforementioned debut, he began visiting Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next decade, his trips became more consistent, then more frequent, and then longer, until, in 2019, Jurvanen and his family of four finally made the move—nearly 2,000 kilometers northeast, to Nova Scotia. They live a lifestyle, Jurvanen half-jokes, that is “close to Mennonite.” The kids are homeschooled. No one has an iPad. Text messages can feel like miracles.

Eggy is redefining the modern jam band experience with a blend of rich songwriting, exploratory improvisation, and magnetic live energy. The Connecticut-based quartet—Jake Brownstein (guitar, vocals), Dani Battat (keys, vocals), Mike Goodman (bass, vocals), and Alex Bailey (drums, vocals)—has built a reputation for emotionally resonant songs and live performances that turn every set into an unpredictable, communal experience.
2024 marked a breakout moment for the band with the release of their sophomore album Waiting Game, a refined studio statement co-produced by White Denim’s James Petralli. The album propelled Eggy into their largest headline touring year to date, while earning standout performances at major festivals including Austin City Limits, Electric Forest, and Suwannee Hulaween.
That momentum only accelerated through 2025. Eggy continued expanding their footprint with extensive headline touring, a growing list of festival appearances, and a reputation as one of the most consistently compelling live acts in the jam and rock space. Around Halloween, the band sold out back-to-back nights at Cervantes in Denver, transforming the city into a pilgrimage site for fans with their themed run celebrating The Ballad of Blucifer. The shows underscored the band’s ability to create moments that feel both playful and deeply meaningful, while proving their staying power in key markets.
As they look ahead to 2026, Eggy enters a new chapter defined by confidence, creative ambition, and sustained growth. With continued headline touring on the horizon and plans to begin creating new music in early 2026, the band is focused on pushing their sound forward without losing the emotional core that has defined them. From intimate rooms to sold-out club runs and marquee festival stages, Eggy continues to convert first-time listeners into lifelong fans. Wherever they play next, one thing remains constant: no two shows are ever the same, and the journey is just getting started.
