where Independent artists rule...

About Me

2006 Asbury Music Award - Top Internet Radio Station!

Upstage Radio launched in 2005 and currently broadcasts 24 hours a day. It is run by Upstage Magazine - New Jersey's leading arts & culture publication.

Upstage Radio largely plays music from independent artists but we also play national acts as well. We're not part of the rigid world of radio formats. We play whatever we like. The goal is to make Upstage Radio an interactive music community. Users can request songs (that play automatically about one hour later), buy cds and get information about the bands (bios, song lyrics, etc.)
