WSRR Radio is teaming up with some of the hottest local and independent artists to release a PHYSICAL Christmas album!
WSRR is proud to announce the release of WSRR: Star Christmas, a brand-new holiday sampler album featuring ten original Christmas tracks from some of the hottest local and independent artists regularly heard on WSRR. Inspired by classic radio promo discs, Star Christmas showcases the diversity and creativity of the regional music scene, blending heartfelt ballads, alternative rock, genre-bending anthems, and off-beat holiday originals from Judelyn, Gavin Michaels, Silver Dollar, Zoloft, Jet Star, Andrew Myers, SL.AP, and The Whole Damn Affair.
WSRR: Star Christmas is now available for purchase exclusively through the WSRR website.
This project was funded entirely out of pocket by WSRR, with the intention of giving local artists a platform during the holiday season and offering listeners something fresh beyond traditional Christmas standards. All proceeds from album sales will go directly toward offsetting CD production costs and keeping local, independent music on the air.
Star Christmas reflects the heart of what WSRR is all about: Community, creativity, and supporting artists who don’t have the backing of a major label! We hope you will continue to support local music and spread some holiday cheer with WSRR: Star Christmas!
As another year at WSRR Radio is coming to a close, we want to thank all of the loyal listeners who helped spread local and independent music nationwide by playing, sharing, and posting about WSRR. This was a major year of growth for WSRR and local music alike, with a rise in listenership, artists, the launch of the WSRR Radio App, and going completely free from network advertising! WSRR has never been a business, Non-Profit, Corporation, 501c3, or any corporate entity. Music is an incredibly personal relationship we all share across the globe, regardless of race, sex, religion, political ideologies, or any boundary of the corporate world. Because of this, we have remained what we always have been, a group of friends and creatives working together under the WSRR branding. It’s because of our loyal listeners, our amazing sponsors who support the station, and, of course, the talented local artists across the globe that we are able to do what we do. With that said, it’s time to find out who has been the breakout artist this past 2025! Fan voting is now open below and will continue through December 31st, where we will name the WSRR Artist of the Year as voted on by YOU! Continue to share the love for your local music scene and your favorite independent artist by voting below and sharing the poll! Best of luck to ALL of our one-of-a-kind artists on WSRR!

Heading to a Halloween party this year, but don’t want to break the bank?
Whether you’re heading to a Halloween party, office get-together, or family costume party this year, and either don’t want to break the bank or just don’t have the energy for an elaborate costume, these quick fits are here to save the day!
Bobby Football
Not to be confused with “Johnny Football”, former Cleveland Browns “star” QB, Johnny Manziel, Bobby Football is everyone’s favorite ambiguous high school football player! A costume that works with ANY jersey paired with a football, relive your glory years on the gridiron as the guy who definitely didn’t peak in high school! Add in a cheap cloth knee brace for added realism, make sure you let people know you could’ve gone pro if it wasn’t for your bum knee!
Got an article of purple clothing? You’re in! The infamous Third Street Saints from the Saints Row Series are a gang who run the streets of Stilwater (and it’s with one L bitch!) draped in their iconic royal purple color! Be it a jersey, tank top, puffer coat, or even just a bandana, the Third Street Saints welcome all new recruits, so long as you aren’t afraid to be canonized.
Cooper’s true identity remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries…
A heavy hitter for any costume contest, show out as the elusive DB Cooper! Not much is known about DB Cooper outside his plane jacking, bank robbing, disappearing lore, to the point where his identity is still unknown 54 years later due to the lack of description surrounding the man’s appearance. What’s known: He held a briefcase, had black sunglasses, and likely a suit. So if you’ve got a suitcase lying around, or a couple of bucks for Goodwill, you can bring a face to this name!
Rick Allen (Def Leppard)
Def Leppard’s Rick Allen famously lost an arm in a car accident but continued to drum—and became one of rock’s most inspiring musicians. This costume is equal parts funny, iconic, and respectful if done right.
All you need is a Def Leppard shirt (they sell them everywhere—seriously, even Walmart’s got you covered), jeans, and a pair of drumsticks. Tuck one arm inside your shirt, tie off the empty sleeve, and boom—you’re a rock god. Add a blonde wig and maybe a little 80s eyeliner for accuracy.
You’ll get laughs, respect, and maybe a few karaoke requests for Pour Some Sugar on Me.
The final episode of The Rebel Radio Show aired Monday, Sep. 29th

They have and continue to keep WSRR and local music on your radios!

A WSRR Radio Exclusive interview with Ryan and Aaron from Echo Pilot

It should be noted that not only is this NOT a political piece, but also an opinion and conspiracy piece, and should be viewed as such.
The Facts:
On September 10th, 2025, Political activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a rooftop shooter during a live debate at Utah Valley University. While it wasn’t immediately confirmed, it is widely believed Kirk died within seconds of being struck. Moments after people began to flee the active shooter scene, a 71-year-old man was arrested on the ground, claiming that he had shot Kirk. It was later revealed that this man, George Zinn, was NOT the shooter. The assassin would be revealed roughly 24 hours later as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who had turned himself in to his father, a former law enforcement officer, before being turned over to authorities. The investigation is currently ongoing as of 09/16/25.
The Background
For those unaware, Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA, made his living as a right-wing, Christian, political activist alongside his talk show, The Charlie Kirk Show, and his widely recognized open forum live debate platform that traveled across the country to college campuses, encouraging political discourse. Kirk was notoriously very heavily right-wing leaning; however, more and more conservatives had begun to question his unrelenting loyalty to the modern-day nation-state of Israel. Something that will come into the conversation as we discuss…
24 Hours Prior (Israel and ignored warnings)
Just 24 hours prior to the incident at Utah Valley University, Charlie Kirk invited fellow right-wing activist Ben Shapiro to join him on The Charlie Kirk Show. Much to the surprise of Kirk’s listeners, Charlie’s conversation for the show revolved around questioning the recent bombing of Qatar as orchestrated by Israel. Other topics of discussion involved Epstein’s potential involvement within the Israeli government and Israel’s political grip on the United States.
Israel
As previously stated, Kirk was known, almost to a comedic extent, online as an avid defender of all things Israel. With increasing questioning of Charlie’s support for the nation state growing among campus discussions, it might not be unrealistic to think some of the points did, in fact, begin to change his mind. The coincidence that Kirk’s last show featured heavy criticism of Israel, their intelligence agencies, and covert work with the US Government seems eerily ominous, knowing he would be assassinated just 24 hours later. Now, the man Kirk had invited on that last program has been understandably very vocal about the situation. Ben Shapiro was a colleague of Kirk, a fellow right-wing activist who made his career focusing on live debate, discussion, and political discourse. Shaperio not only spoke very vocally about how these actions should not silence political discourse, but recently also donated $1 million to Turning Point USA. What seems like a genuine act of kindness to promote the future of discourse has not been taken as such by everyone, however. Almost instantly, the online community jumped to the conclusion that Shapiro may also be using this tragedy to insert himself as the new frontrunner for right-wing political discourse across the nation. Internet theorists have begun speculating that Kirk could have potentially not only been offed by Israel for his recent shift in attitude, but also that the nation state may have inserted Shapiro to ensure they remain in a positive light within conservative media. This, of course, is all THEORY currently.
Twitter Warning
Prior to Kirk’s arrival at Utah Valley University, an X account under the name Omar Najra Galvz began tweeting some cryptic messages in relation to the event. Tweets from this account included “Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow and I really hope someone evaporates him completely.”, “Let’s just say something big will happen tomorrow.”. Curiously, to our knowlegde, these tweets were never investigated by authorities or Utah Valley University and seemingly went unseen by Kirk and his team. There has been no connection made between the assassin and this account.
A little TOO similar
July 13th, 2024
If we recall back to July 13th, 2024, President Donald Trump was giving a speech in Butler, PA, when a would-be assassin fired off numerous shots from a rooftop in an attempt to end the president’s life. The infamous shot grazed Trump’s ear before he was rushed out by the Secret Service, and the shooter was taken out. But let’s break down the order of events. If you recall, the shooter was not identified until later that evening in fact, multiple posts on social media and news networks began to name suspects who turned out to have no relation to the event at all. The official report claims the shooter made his way onto a slanted rooftop. Despite several attendees notifying local police, nothing was done to investigate the man toting a rifle to a rooftop.
September 10th, 2025
In the case of Charlie Kirk, as we’ve covered, miraculously, no local law enforcement or security noticed a man a mere 200 yards away from Charlie’s booth ascend to a rooftop with his rifle. After the shot rang out, police identified and arrested the wrong suspect. And the most unbelievable, the assassin was able to descend from the roof, leave an active crime scene, and exit the college campus, all with possession of his weapon. The official story reports the weapon being found in the woods nearby, wrapped in a towel. Further reports included the details that the shooter had engraved messages and memes in the casings of his bullets, as well as a manifesto that was shared online but could not be recovered. We’ll get back to that in a moment.
August 27th, 2025
On August 27th, 2025, just weeks before the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 23-year-old Robin Westman opened fire on a Minneapolis church, killing two children and wounding 14 others. The reason for this inclusion boils down to two key factors of this disgusting attack. One day prior to this attack, the killer had posted a detailed manifesto outlining their plan and posted it to YouTube for anyone to see. Nothing was reported. Following the attack, the police disclosed the shooter’s rifle had been covered and etched with messages ranging from “Blackrock” to Russian lettering.
Conclusions
In my opinion, this was NOT a random act of political violence like we’ve been told. The amount of copy and paste tactics, narratives, and plot hole-ridden stories is just too coincidental. The fact that so many similarities are shared between the Trump assassination attempt last year and Kirk’s murder this year, not the least of which being the narrative of a Transgender/Transgender activist, left-wing shooter to push further political divide. I am not denying these shooters have or have not fallen more so on the democratic side of the political spectrum, but I am denying these are random acts of violence that were not influenced or orchestrated by larger entities. To think that a very specific demographic of person, the exact demographic an entirely political party makes an active effort to oppose, wouldn’t be the prime candidate for an organization set on causing political divide via tragedy is laughable. Matthew Crooks, the Trump shooter, just happened to be a Trans supporter who had been publicly educated under the Blackrock Organization, and was able to climb a roof with a rifle and evade security until the shots were fired. The narrative of him being a crazed left-wing maniac was later published. The School shooter we had discussed earlier also had references to Blackrock and other left-leaning ideologies etched into his rifle. Now, Kirk’s assassin was found to have similar messages engraved into his bullet casings? This isn’t Vietnam; no normal citizen is carving messages into their guns. I understand these are not “Normal Citizens” by many means, but what civilian has this thought process? It seems to be a very convenient way of leaving behind enough evidence to “clearly” show each killer’s political party affiliation. It might be one excuse if you take into consideration that these attacks are often looked at as suicide missions, where the killer has no intention of living to serve any form of punishment. However, that doesn’t quite fit the MO of the Kirk assassin. Kirk’s assassin ended up turning himself in. He’s alive and waiting for trial. Now, if someone is going out of their way to inscribe messages into a weapon, you’d imagine it was intended to be seen, no? So, what sense does the official report make that the rifle was found wrapped in a towel in the woods? A wife loses a husband, two kids lose a father, the right loses an activist, and the left loses support? So who benefits from this situation? The Democratic Party gains an excuse to push for gun control, to call their opposition the problem for supporting the 2nd Amendment. The right gains voters, an opprotunity to showcase anyone who opposes them as cold-blooded murderers and the insane. Meanwhile, you and I, the common American citizen, get to watch each other die. We get to watch the media tell us our friends across the aisle are evil and want to kill us. We get to watch the government spend day after day arguing about red vs. blue, making thousands of dollars a day argue while we struggle for food, gas, and rent. Conveniently, while all this chaos was going on and America was in mourning and confusion, Israel got away from criticism by one of their loudest opponents. Conveniently, HOURS after Kirk’s death, the US Government vetoed the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files…again. I ask you again, who is benefiting? Not You. Not I. This is the latest attempt to insight a political civil war by a group of elite who will willingly throw away countless citizens’ lives to make sure they control the narrative. As much justification there may be to be angry, confused, upset, or vengeful, please realize that is exactly what they want. I cannot confidently tell you who was behind this attack specifically, who knew about it, who let it happen, and why it wasn’t prevented. What I can tell you, however, is that this is not Red vs Blue. This is not Republican vs. Democrat. This is Them vs. Us. Do not fall into the oversimplified trap that this is the work of one party to attack another. Stand united and know that we, not as Republicans, not as democrats, but as Americans, are under attack while the people telling us to side with them keep getting richer off our misery. I encourage everyone to continue open discourse, to continue questioning the narrative, and to continue looking for who is benefiting from your misfortune. I also encourage sharing your thoughts and opinions on this matter! For my final thought, I’ll leave you with a quote from the late great Norm McDonald, “It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?”.
