Garageland is a Southern California based project oriented towards making music and creative expression accessible to everyone. This platform aims to provide bands and artists who might not have the means to gain exposure through more traditional or costly channels a chance to promote their content and represent their art genuinely and freely
This show aims to feature and support underrepresented artists and bands, helping to provide a voice and a platform to share their work. This aligns with a broader commitment to diversity and representation within the arts.
Steven Jimenez, the creator of Garageland, emphasizes keeping the project free from commercial pressures. This includes not charging bands for featuring their work and maintaining a focus on the art rather than monetization.
The ethos of Garageland is deeply rooted in community support. This involves not just showcasing artists, but also fostering a sense of community among listeners and participants, and supporting local music scenes.
The project strives to present artists and their work authentically, without undue influence or alteration. The intention is to allow artists to express themselves in their own voice.
Garageland has a strong respect for the creativity and intellectual property of the artists featured.
The project avoids using artists’ work for personal fame or profit. The goal is to promote the artists, not the platform or its creator.
Garageland Radio's ethics revolve around accessibility, support for underrepresented artists, community collaboration, authenticity, integrity, and respect for creative work, all within a non-commercial and artist-focused framework.

Memory Milk
In this episode I get to catch up with my old friends Mike and Peter from Memory Milk. Mike and I go waaaaaaay back to the early scene days of Southern California. In fact we have unpublished materials that will most likely never see the light of day; however, we more than make up for it with this episode. Not only do Mike and Peter explain their experience playing in the music community, but they also give us some insight into their release "A Lot Like Flowers". Hope you all enjoy.
