Subculture Shock

Started in 1995 by Andy Dean of Bella Morte Subculture Shock was Charlottesville, Virginia’s first radio show dedicated solely to all music falling into the Gothic Subculture. After 10 years, and a list of DJs that includes Virginia Goth Greats such as DJ Xiane (Chris Knight, formerly of the Violet Dawning and current host of the aptly titled Radio Xiane and Stuart Templeton of Terminal Ready, SubShock is still going strong as Charlottesville’s Premier source for the darker side of radio. Now hosted by Patrick Allen of Silent Muse, Subculture Shock continues to offer the best (and sometimes worst) of Goth, Industrial, Darkwave, Death Rock, EBM, and anything/everything in between.
