We want you to listen each week and vote on your favorite band/song. We’ll then count down the top 5 songs the following Sunday at 9pm.  

If you don’t hear your band, we invite you to submit your music via CD. This is about the easiest way for you to get your music in front of record labels. You see, they all receive the playlist on Monday. And, they take notice.  

Follow these simple instructions.  

  • Record your music onto a CD. Not MP3 files, audio files please… Something that can be played on a car stereo.
  • Write band and contact info on the disc itself as well as on the packaging.
  • Indicate your single favorite song. Mark it on the disc with a Sharpie or Post-it note.
  • Send your CD in a case. (not loose in a brown paper bag. Yes, we’ve received these.)
  • Include bio. Where are you from? What are you all about? This doesn’t have to be professionally written, just legible.
  • Mail to: 
    KROQ Locals Only
    5901 Venice Blvd.
    Los Angeles, 90034

Then, listen every Sunday at 9pm then return to KROQ.com to cast your vote.

bashing bands on KROQ’s site to benefit ur friends band, not respectable at all. give all the bands a listen have your own opinion, listen to their albums before you stereotype.. All the bands made it here based on hard work, promotion and solid rock.

Keep it positive so that one person/band doesnt ruin the Top 5 for all bands. Respect for KROQ and all the bands listed!

The B Foundation IS destined for success! Been rockin’ Souveniers in the car all week….KROQ share the love with commuters in LA and help divert road rage accidents!

P.S. My daughters (11 and 9) say they do Down Under better than Men at Work! Ha. “oo-oo-wah-kah, oo-oo-wah-kah”

Play slant, this band is revolutionary. Music like that does not come out anymore. They rock. Play. Play. Play All I’m Good For

fan of black verse

I heard slant and they’re definitely the band for the ages. Some guy down there heard one song and thinks he knows everything. Typical LA ignorance. slant rocks.
