Skegss⚡️ (makes you feel like you’re skateboarding down a boardwalk in the middle of an australian summer)

Vundabar (one of my all time favorite bands… they make a unique kind of alternative music with catchy melodies and gritty lyrics/sounds that are truly brilliant)

Goodbye Honolulu (really good garage rock stuff and an overall awesome sound. chord progressions are also a1)

Made Violent (also restores my faith in alternative and punk)

Courtney Barnett (if you don’t know this songwriting wizard by now… relatable music, awesome guitar playing and band, just overall beautiful songs)

Gallus (my favorite modern alternative band for the past 2 yrs now… super underrated shit, real rock songs that are clean and so advanced. definitely check them out)

Otherkin (imagine a movie intro of someone walking through high school in the early 2000s, with a little more punk)

Cosmic Flanders (only have 2 songs rn but I know they’ll be big, has a retro-rock and modern day psych-rock feel)

Violent Soho (reminds me so much of classic 90s bands, ultimate new headbanger music with plenty of more mellow bops too)

The Delta Riggs ⚫️ (the BEST funky alternative)

The Dose (90’s vibe… it’s good stuff)
