    Thursday Marks Fall is an Alternative Rock band from New Mexico. Formed in 2022 at the ages of 15 and 16, Thursday Marks Fall delved into Albuquerque’s thriving music scene and quickly grew their roots.
  • Thurst Trap is a three piece of electric piano, bass, and drums. With the energy of a punk band and the sensibilities of bass heavy prog rock, they blast the music at you in a frenetic blitz. Fun and engaging, they prove you don't need an electric guitar to rock out.
  • Mutual love of the Irish Folk/Punk of their youth brought Thomas Dewers (guitar), Debo Orlofsky (accordion), Terry Bluhm (bass), and Zoom Crespin (drums) together to form Dirty Old Town ABQ.
  • Over the course of 30 years the Las Cruces-born/Albuquerque-based band Nosotros has remained restless, changeable & consistently popular. As the single "Mentiras" was released the band came by "Studio 505" to perform new songs destined for their next album.
  • It was at The College of Santa Fe where these artists got their first taste of Central European vocal traditions, and since then they have dug both deep and broad to find new regions and languages to add to their spellbinding repertoire. This visit to KUNM finds the quartet performing songs from their 2024 album "Beneath Roses" and discussing the unique power of this music with DJ Leah.
  • This week on Afternoon Freeform, Brando had the good fortune of catching up with Brooklyn-based roots/americana trio, Damn Tall Buildings, ahead of their ABQ/SF shows. Check out their live, in-studio performance and interview, where they go deeper into the origins of the group, and how they blend the bluegrass tradition with a contemporary vibe.
  • Los Metamorfos performing live in KUNM's Studio A! Led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Casey Mráz, METAMORFOS is a quintet that blends a wide variety of music into a whirl of psychedelic world fusion. They mix traditional Andean instruments with roots music in a form they call South Americana.
  • Raul Midón (guitarist, vocalist, mouth trumpeter, sound engineer, etc.) swings by KUNM's Studio A during Thursday Afternoon Freeform to play a few songs and talk about growing up on public radio here in New Mexico, his new album "Lost And Found", his custom recording studio and more.Hosted by Brandon Kennedy and engineered by Roman Garcia.
  • The prolific Albuquerque Rock quintet return to Studio A with a selection of new songs plus their first studio-ready cover song.
  • Albuquerque songwriter Oscar Butler returns to KUNM in a solo performance of songs largely from his album "Chorus of my Life." Afterwards he talks about his evolution as a Performing Songwriter and his recent embrace of Blues forms.
