Axelsen & ‘Soundcheck’ Return To Live 105
From 1999 through 2020, Soundcheck was the go-to resource for new music discovery, bringing the Bay Area its weekly new music fix, including buzzworthy new bands, UK imports, indie rock, next big thing caliber artists, unsigned and independent artists and, of course, a healthy dose of local, homegrown music. “Over the years, Soundcheck has been instrumental in launching the careers of numerous notable artists who have achieved international acclaim — bands like The Killers, Gorillaz, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Coldplay all received their North American commercial radio debuts on Soundcheck,” said Stacey Kauffman, RVP/Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco & Sacramento. “With Aaron Axelsen back at the helm, Sunday nights will once again become a beacon for music enthusiasts, a place to discover the sounds that will shape the future.”
“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to bring back Soundcheck and to once again provide an important audio platform and voice for the incredible Bay Area music scene,” Axelsen said. “I’m excited to work with John Allers, Stacey Kauffman, Michael Martin, Jayn, Kevin Weatherly, Miles Anzaldo and the entire Audacy Alternative team, and to resume championing new music and emerging artists to a large and passionate Northern California audience.”
