This week’s Song of the Week is “Live and Die For You” by Lodi, NJ punk legends Mourning Noise, featuring Steve Zing (Samhain/Danzig). Packed with crushing riffs and dark energy, the track is part of their venomous new release and is spinning in heavy rotation all week on Radio Garden State. Turn it up and keep NJ loud.

“Funhouse” brings the raw, loud energy Best Dressed Ghost is known for right to the forefront. It’s gritty, punchy, and built to hit hard — a blend of garage rock, punk attitude, and surf-punk salt that hits you in the gut while grinning. This is a track meant to be blasted live, fist in the air, because subtleness isn’t part of the vocabulary here.

This is not just a playlist. It’s a shared space for independent voices to reach real listeners. If you have a song to share, there’s never been a better time to get it played on the radio.
