Welcome to Tape Swap Radio

based out of shards recording studio in Bethlehem, pa

 

Tape Swap Radio is an original live music series that was started to spotlight the DIY, punk, and independent music in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania.

Since 2013, a dedicated group in the Valley's music community has helped create Tape Swap's many parts: radio broadcasts, podcasts, online videos, a twice-annual punk rock flea market, and other live events.
