As the clock ticks toward midnight, Skratch N’ Sniff Radio is turning New Year’s Eve into a three-hour detonation — a full-throttle celebration of rock, alternative, and everything that rattles the walls between. From 9 p.m. to midnight (check local listings), the long-running renegade radio institution will broadcast a New Year’s Eve 3 Hour Special across all iHeart rock and alternative stations, delivering a no-holds-barred party mix hosted by Malcolm Ryker and Christen Limon.
Since blasting onto Southern California airwaves in 2003, Skratch ‘N Sniff has lived at the intersection of chaos and curation — a place where riffs, beats, and blown-out expectations collide. What began as a local experiment has grown into a national force, now airing weekly across 62 affiliates, stitching together rock’s past, present, and future into a nonstop, genre-smashing rush. New Year’s Eve is where that philosophy goes supernova.
The three-hour special leans hard into party bangers and exclusive artist content, with appearances and moments tied to Metallica, Sublime, Five Finger Death Punch, 311, Pop Evil, Sleep Theory, Ice Nine Kills, The Funeral Portrait, Wage War, OTTTO, AWOLNATION, and more — a lineup that reflects Skratch N’ Sniff’s refusal to sit still or stay inside neat genre lines.
For Skratch N’ Sniff, New Year’s Eve isn’t about looking back — it’s about blowing the doors off the future. Three hours. One countdown. And a party loud enough to carry rock radio into whatever comes next.
