Radio Neo Distortion (in a nutshell)

Mission, Vision and Purpose
Our mission is to connect, serve, support, expand and demystify Portuguese underground music. Our vision is to create the national reference platform and community for underground music made in Portugal. There is a hole in the market. There are a lot of artists, a lot of acting spaces and a lot of public, but they all badly need an intermediary to connect and expand this common passion. We cannot let art die, spaces close, artists give up, angry young people convinced that our country's music is no good ... NO NO!

Goals and Commitment
Express and expand the passion for Portuguese punk by showing the unexplored side of DIY musical culture in our country. Be the ally of launching, supporting and connecting underground music through online radio and media platforms. The young audience really cares for authenticity, uniqueness and freedom, a passionate social radio, free of taboos, transparent, conscious, informed and social, in turn there must be a place where all of this fits together. There are many social duties involved that we must fulfill, especially that of uniting love for music and culture.

Appeal
To start from scratch we need all passionate punks - outsiders, hipsters, rebels, artists, revolutionaries, activists ... The destination of your help goes not only to the proper licenses and publicity, but also to the construction of a small studio in a small room in the place where we live, to achieve the minimum viability worthy of radio programs, interviews and concerts to make known this vast world of Portuguese rock, punk, metal and indie.

About the author

Pedro Cardoso - Gestor de Projeto

In the final stretch of his Multimedia Course in 2016, Pedro set up a 100% Portuguese metal, rock and punk radio. Rádio 7Omega received a warm welcome from both bands and listeners and was on the air for half a year. Despite being an old dream, studies would continue and all the work done by a single student, urgently needed a team to share all the countless tasks and possible future costs. From the dream, 4 years later, this was how Neo Distortion was born.
