Many of these independent, non-signed bands in this twelve-album series aired on the South Florida airwaves of the non-commercial outlets of WVUM 90.5 FM and WKPX-FM, as well as WDNA 88.9 FM—before that station became an all-jazz outlet—broadcasting as a non-profit public access/variety station that aired many alternative music blocks. A few of the bands earned airplay on the “Locals Only” programming blocks of the mainstream/commercial radio rock outlets WZTA 94.9 and WSHE 103.5 in the early ’90s, as well as on specialty show blocks at WAXY 790, around 1993 to 1994, when it was a brokered programming outlet.

Notes:
Milkcan was the punk side project of Rene Alvarez and Derek Murphy, formerly of the mainstream rock quartet, Forget the Name. They simultaneously performed as the noise-pop outfit Sixo. Both bands featured Joel Schantz, formerly of the highly-touted, popular Miami band, Natural Causes. Schantz sang lead in Milkcan, while Alvarez fronted Sixo.
Skull Park Jones relocated to Los Angeles and became Chickenbox, doing much of the same material from their lone, eponymous demo album.
Robbie Gennet became a sought after session and touring keyboardist, backing Saigon Kick and 7 Mary 3 on the road.
Mind Mural is the alt-rock concern of Kurt Whiteside, formerly the late ’80s AOR concern, Lifeforce.
Dog for a Day is the alt-pop outgrowth of glam rockers Tuff Luck.
Rest in Peace:
Todd Kline, drummer of Dog for a Day (also of Tuff Luck), died July 1994
Richard Pierce of Mind Mural: August 28, 1959 -- August 24, 2017
