Starting off as a scrappy, rebel and independent radio station, flourishing through the “Rock of the ’80s,” KROQ helped break nearly every major Alt-rock act in history from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, No Doubt, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Blink-182, System of a Down, Bad Religion and Social Distortion and The Offspring just to name a few. And don’t forget Kevin & Bean and Loveline, the station also launched the careers of many rock star entertainers — Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Carolla, Dr. Drew, Carson Daly, Chris Hardwick and Kennedy.
KROQ continues to lead in new music, concert production with its numerous sell-out events, a worldwide digital presence, and its popular Kevin & Bean Morning Show.
