About Me

Hartkramp is an underground-radioshow, broadcasting from Groningen. It has been awarded many times. We play a lot of music, do interviews with bands and other people in the musicbizz and review music for the VeraKrant. Hartkramp exists for seven years now, in collaboration with Vera and the recordstores De Jongens Van, Elpee and back in the days with Platenworm. We manage to create a great show, for two hours a week, with the best of todays underground-music. We don't have favourite styles or bands, but we like bands or labels who put as much effort in their work as we do.If you want to send us stuff, you can do so at:
