South Florida Rocks: Vol. 11 '87 — '97

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.

All bands—unless otherwise noted—hail from the South Florida tri-county area.
