Off the Charts Music Podcast
Welcome to “Off the Charts" the podcast that digs up original local music from yesterday so you can hear it today! Off the Charts" features stories and music from unsigned local bands mainly from 70’s, 80’s, 90's. They never made it onto the charts but they did make music that should be heard! Our purpose is to “dig” this music out (sometimes out of boxes and drawers ) and bring it to life online for new and old listeners to enjoy. Look for a new episode on the 28th of each month.If you are an artist or know of a band or artist that would like to be our special guest, please contact us at offthechartsmusicpodcast@gmail.com Thank you.

Dreamers and Punks - The Story of The Xtras
In 1979 drummer Bill (William) Knapp wanted to start an original punk band so he got on his CB radio and found a couple of dreamers. They put their music on cassette tape and The Xtras were born.
Guitarists/vocalists Bill Arciprete and Steve Schneider share the honest story of one of Connecticut's best homegrown punk rock bands.
P.S This podcast is released on May 28, 2025 - The 45th anniversary of their very first live show!
