Heavy Planet Radio Now On MixCloud

Stoner Rock/Doom/Psychedelic/Sludge

Heavy Planet Radio has been on Facebook for a little over a year now gaining over 1000 "likes" along the way, primarily posting tunes by way of Bandcamp and YouTube links. While not your typical "radio" station we, or shall I say our main "DJ" Stump spins the tunes basically playing anything that he feels like playing. Heavy Planet Radio is a great way for fans to hear new music and for bands to get their music heard. We get a shit ton of music sent into the Heavy Planet office on a weekly basis and feel bad that we are not able to feature many of the bands on our main site. Therefore I have decided to launch a Heavy Planet Radio station on MixCloud. Through MixCloud we will feature New Music playlists, staff writer playlists, the possibilities are endless. The MixCloud app is also available for iPhone and Android so you can listen to Heavy Planet Radio anywhere you go. People always complain that radio sucks and while not your typical "radio" station, we hope that you will tune in and listen. 

If you would like to submit a song, please send the track in MP3 format to heavyplanet2001@yahoo.com with the subject line "Heavy Planet Radio". 

To start things off, I have created a playlist of 25 new bands for you to check out. Over the coarse of the next few weeks we will be adding playlists of some of the staff from Heavy Planet to give you a taste of what we all listen to.

We thank you for listening, now go crank that mutha up!

The Heavy Planet Experience

Hi! For many of you this may be the first time visiting Heavy Planet, for others, visiting Heavy Planet may be a daily ritual. Either way we want to make sure that you enjoy the entire Heavy Planet Experience. Since 2008, Heavy Planet has been somewhat of a launching pad for some of the best independent and unsigned bands from around the world. Bands have been seen worldwide on such features as "New Band To Burn One To", "Seth's Sunday Sludge", "Zac's Double Dose" and the newly formed "Nuclear Dog's Atomic Split". These fine features plus album reviews, interviews, etc. are archived for your your convenience and can be found using the drop down box on the upper left-hand side of the page.

Recently, we have created a Facebook page of an ongoing playlist of both new and old music simply known as Heavy Planet Radio. This a great place to find and listen to new bands or classic bands you may have never heard of or many of the popular bands you are familiar with. If you like to discover new music I highly suggest "tuning in". A new show called "Smoke Out Sundays" is broadcast every Sunday morning and features seven amazing new bands each week and is hosted by yours truly.

We are very passionate about what we do here at Heavy Planet and we hope you enjoy what we do. We will continue to strive to make this one of the best places to find Stoner Rock, Doom, Sludge, and Psychedelic bands on the Planet. Stay tuned...

To further your Heavy Planet Experience, we extend an invitation to "like" both the Official Heavy Planet Facebook page and the Ultimate Stoner/Doom Playlist Heavy Planet Radio.

Thanks for visiting Heavy Planet!
