HistoryLazlo is a former disc jockey from the rock music station WDHA. He founded BlowUpRadio on 15 December 2000.{{sfn|Jordan|2014}} The Internet radio station showcases homegrown music from New Jersey, focusing predominately on unsigned artists.{{sfn|Voss|2015}} The station features playlists, interviews and live performances, and the website features newsletters and videos. Lazlo explains he created BlowUpRadio because "people actually care about hearing local bands," as a response to mainstream Jersey Rock Radio stations "playing an occasional Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi song."{{sfn|Galgano|2012}}{{sfn|BlowUpRadio Staff|2017}} The Aquarian Weekly says "he concentrates all his efforts on local artists that are doing their absolute best to gain recognition in a field where recognition is fleeting."{{sfn|Pfeiffer|2018}} Starting in 2006, BlowUpRadio started a benefit program called Banding Together, a benefit show to help those who suffer from spondylitis, with proceeds going to the Spondylitis Association of America. The show is held over several days as a virtual festival, and mostly features acoustic live over-the-air sets from Lazlo's apartment, and occasionally recorded sets from bands performing at venues.{{sfn|Selzer|2014}} Some prominent artist performances include Richard Barone, the Accelerators, Lost in Society and Val Emmich.{{sfn|Galgano|2012}}{{sfn|Jordan|2014}} The tenth anniversary of BlowUpRadio was held at Buddies in Sayreville, New Jersey, with performances by Cropduster, Tea & Whiskey and Mike Ferraro and the Young Republicans.{{sfn|Brown|Rainone|Rainone|2010}} The station temporarily stopped broadcasting on 31 January 2016, after a two-day "Blowing Up the Radio!" broadcast that featured in-studio performances by some of the Jersey artists that the station championed over the years. In a press release, Lazlo says "I am already hard at work on the next phase of how BlowUpRadio.com will continue to promote New Jersey's indie music scene."{{sfn|Lustig|2016}} BlowUpRadio returned broadcasting 14 March 2017.{{sfn|BlowUpRadio Staff|2017}} InterviewsAs of 2018, BlowUpRadio has held over two-hundred interviews with local and national artists, typically lasting between thirty and sixty minutes. The interviews are interspersed with studio recordings, and live performances. {{column list|- 18th & Addison
