According to Sirius: Rock, punk, hip-hop and more, especially for action sports fans.My Experience: Another pleasant surprise on the Sirius dial. While I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, I do like some of the more mainstream punk music out there (some call it power pop, some call it pseudopunk), such as Blink-182, Green Day and My Chemical Romance...and Faction carried some similar music. I'm not a huge extreme sports fan, so the whole Tony Hawk aspect of Faction (he hosts a radio show here, as do several other extreme sports icons) doesn't appeal to me, other aspects certainly do.
In Synch: The music of Faction woke me up for the drive in to work, but afterwards, I was exhausted and painfully full from a business dinner, and I didn't need the fast-paced music so much. Luckily, the drive home was less music and more radio talk show as professional skateboard and motocross rider Jason Ellis just chatted it up with callers.
Sample Playlist:
- Switchfoot, Oh! Gravity
- Nonpoint, Bullet with a Name
- Linkin Park, Bleed It Out
- Sublime, Date Rape
- Sum 41, March of the Dogs
- Tiger Army, Forever Fades Away
Verdict: Probably not much of a surprise that I bookmarked this, but I'm going to have to spend more time listening to it than I did in the past because even in my limited time listening to it today, I found a couple new artists I need to check out further.
