ABOUT US

The Refinery used to play the likes of Reliant K and Switchfoot

The Refinery Rock Radio is a 24/7 live online Christian radio station; we play classic and traditional style rock and metal from the 70's to today. If you are into bands like Petra, Rez Band, Stryper, Narnia, Rob Rock and more, then you are going to be hanging with us quite a bit.

We started broadcasting in March of 2005 and have gone through many changes over the years. We have grown to be one of the best Christian rock/metal stations on the web and we will continue to strive forward.

The Refinery started off as a two hour metal show on another radio station back in 2004

The Refinery is owned and operated by Thomas Johns and is a listener supported station. If you would like to help out, just click the 'Support Us' link for more info.

We are also a small Christian rock webzine; we have some exclusive interviews and we also do album reviews. Contact us if you manage a band or are an artist who would like to be interviewed or if you would like your album reviewed.

The Refinery show was first called "Heavenly Metal".

The Refinery website has also gone through many changes and looks; Thomas has built and maintained the site over the years until around the middle of 2008 when he met Nathaniel. Nathaniel has since become a partner at the Refinery and has greatly improved the website as well as started the Refinery forum.

The Refinery staff would like to thank everyone for their continued support and we hope to continue rocking you until the LAST DAY!
