"In the opening moments of Xirtic’s inaugural broadcast, Troy made a notable observation: while there is an abundance of talent in the community across the electronic and beat-driven spectrums, there’s a stark lack of twang on the Blast Radio airwaves. So in an effort to remedy this string instrument deficit, Troy announced the launch of Stray Topix Radio, a proudly DIY, pirate radio outfit beaming in from a small town in East Tennessee that, according to its host, is home to a single stoplight. Pledging to remain a malleable space that mirrors Troy’s daily mood, the first episode kicked off with live and studio cuts by Jason Isbell; the lonesome, train whistle fiddle of “Frankie” by The Brother Brothers; and tracks by Bones Owens, Carolina Story, and Ryan Bingham. When you need a break from the dance floor, Stray Topix Radio has space for you on the back porch."
