New music video! October Skyline is out now!
Underrated 80’s Alternative Bands You Need to Listen To:
bc the 80s weren’t all just discos and legwarmers right?
The Replacements ~ a true underground band that’s wayyyy too underrated. just check them out
Minutemen~ that kind of effortless singing and basic riffs that just make really good, politically motivated music (lol)
The Feelies ~ nerdy, catchy stuff. for a reference, if weezer was a little older and was more punk
Mission of Burma ~ punk/alternative stuff, weird (but good) time shifts and piercing chords that aren’t basic or repetitive
The Cramps ~ super creepy but catchy music, it’s really unique garage-rock stuff
Gang of Four ~ part of the early punk movement, lots of political tunes with strong guitar/drum solos
The Dream Syndicate ☁️~ rock/alternative with a little bit of 80s pop elements included. super good guitar riffs and unique vocals
Meat Puppets ~ this is a mean emoji. but this band encompasses all aspects of rock and punk which makes really catchy and head banger music
Alternative Bands You Need To Listen To: Part 5
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)
The Growlers☀️ (y’all should know them but if you don’t… mix of indie/rock/alt/with some pop stuff, overall the band is super dynamic with a great lead singer and amazing riffs/beats)
Skinny Girl Diet (female nirvana. that’s it. fucking awesome)
Hot Flash Heat Wave (mix of post-punk and psychedelic pop stuff, super catchy tunes that you’ll love)
definitely recommend all of these artists especially *** The Lemon Twigs, The Buttertones, Benjamin Booker and Marlon Williams ***
