LIBERATION FREQUENCIES! The question
most often asked might be, "What does Breaking The
Silence stand for?"
We could reply, "It stands for the kind of music we intended to overflow the Serbian youth,
but not the kind that you could become famous for."
Breaking The Silence is definitely one of
the Serbia's longest running hardcore/punk/alternative
music radio program, broadcasted every Thursday
night from 6:30 to 8 PM on Radio Smederevo 96.1
MHz. We are located in Smederevo, about 30 miles
away from Belgrade - the capital. Our 5000 watt
transmitter, allows us to broadcast over the airwaves
to all of Smederevo area and as far away as Belgrade
and its suburb, including southern Serbia.
Years passed since two young kids
started a journey into the world of guitar sound.
It was the year of 1994th if my memories is not
lying to me. We were known as Saturday Night
Fever, but as the radio conduces a different
monthly schema, we were pushed to change the title.
Yet, the idea remained and that is the most important
fact. Considering difficult situation in Serbia
such as war and economical embargo, Breaking
The Silence has proven to stand the test of
time.
A lot of things happened since
than. Sooooooo many different bands, records companies
and promoters passed through the air waves of Breaking
The Silence radio show. Too many to remember
everyone of them. But anyway they all played their
part and so did we in this work….and the initial
aim was to give the air play to as much new bands
which are still keeping the spirit of underground
music as it was possible!
We stand for a non-profit, non-commercial, non-hierachialy cooperatively organised radio show, which is owned and
run by volunteer members - Miroslav, Milan & Milos. So, what does that mean? The show was set up under anarchic principles.
Once a week we try hard to bring you the best in HC/punk-rock/experimental heavy music/ "alternative" and just plain rock & roll.
It's not just music though. Our multiple friends often drop by which turns our radio show into a sort of comic book radio play with
musical commercial breaks.
Our personal archives alone hold close to 300 albums, CD's and singles. But the main dish in our weekly update is the new stuff.
Already a lot of known and relatively unknown labels provide us with the necessary material to make it happen. And we were always
thankful for their help, hoping that this friendly network will not be broken in future.
Everyone gets the same treatment
at the Breaking The Silence. Known bands
with super budget CD's don't get more airplay than
unsigned artists that send in demotapes. Our so
called policy is that we play at least one song
(if possible, two or more, if time permits it) of
each new CD in one or more successive weeks. Understand
that we do what we can with the limited time we
have.
Anyway, it is certain that Breaking
The Silence provides listeners with the absolute
heaviest show on radio. Furthermore, we have chosen
to empower ourselves and our listeners through the
quality sound, so future generations could judge
our great effort.
And working on a radio is something that few words can not explain. First of all it is one great experience. Only we will know how it
feels to be a part of that radio family. So we`re using this chance to express how thankful we are to those people whom we worked until now.
And without them we could not do what we did. Anyway it was radio technicians, our friends, so many good people from different record labels
and magazines, promoters and bands who gave us support with their kind words, time and help. And without it all this radio show would never
be what it is now. And it is growing everyday in every way. This web site is just one way to improve our radio show and to bring it closer
to a wider range of listeners!
So, feel free to contact us because we are opened for any kind of cooperation, help, comments or even critics in order to make BREAKING THE SILENCE
even more successful in future!
Miroslav, Milan and Milos ! Cheers!
"KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!"
