Larry and Angel strive to provide a good combination of current hits, old favorites, local talent, and just plain old good music.

He likes shopping, talking on the phone, and just being with friends.

The record industry corporations have picked up on the desire kids have for music with an edge and have co-opted the sounds. The dollar dances on our asses! Sound Salvation counters this trend by taking it back for the working class… music that relates to us, with freedom and solidarity.
