The Sounds of The American Revolution features material from the early days of WBCN-FM, when the underground station, politics and rock and roll changed radio - and the world. This audio stream includes the archives shared for The American Revolution documentary film, coming in 2018, which have now been restored, and preserved for future listeners. Hear the music, news reports, ads, rare live musical broadcasts, station ID's, interviews, zaniness, and more, as broadcast from the station's launch in 1968 and over the next seven years. A non-profit, educational project of Lichtenstein Creative Media in collaboration with UMass Amherst Special Collections and University Archives, Center for Independent Documentary and Airtime Pro; along with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society; SoundExchange; WilmerHale; and Mass Productions.

Moved to upstate NY from Boston four years back. Always loved WBCN since the '60s! Awesome sounds... Brings tears to my eyes! The very best in Old Skool magic, Keep-on Keepin' On!

I live between Detroit and Ann Arbor, where we have access to a couple decent stations, but nothing like this. I'm continually astounded at the playlists from WBCN! It's pretty, much all I listen to now.

If you enjoy deep tracks from this period of rock history, 'BCN can't be beat. Live clips, news, everything. Little did I know at the time just how unique BCN was, and how fortunate I was to be in its transmitter range.
