New music

I’m an old WFNX person who followed this station to BDC. I was thrilled when indie617 came into being. There is nowhere else that I can get the new music that I hear on this streaming service. Well done!

Best classic Rock in Boston that you can take with you

These guys are the Boston Music scene! Taking the radio to the internet is no easy task and this crew is crushing it! It’s nice to know wherever you go you’ll always have your music with you!!!

Alternative Boston

App always works, great mix of music, reminds me of the good old days of WFNX 101.7.

FNX fan

This app is the best and most cutting edge music app there is. I’ve been a fan of the people who run this since the the early ‘90’s and still am a fan after all these years. In fact, I listens to the original station when it was WLYN in the early ‘80’s. Still the best.
