Grit Rock with Darren Selector is a two hour weekly internet radio podcast celebrating the best of Pacific Northwest indie, psych, shoegaze, garage, electronica, hip-hop, and dj culture (what we like to call ‘the massive sound’). Tacoma (aka Grit City) is the epicenter of the program, which includes music from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia. Broadcasting from the Salish Sea, Grit Rock is proud to be the national public radio for the Republic of Cascadia. Grit Rock is honored to share our heady, local, independent sounds with music lovers of diverse tastes, both at home in the Pacific Northwest, and across the multiverse. “On that ship, I dream she’s there.” Louie, Louie
