My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

'Sometimes' by Miami Horror

Album: Illumination

Released: 2010
Theme: alternative fresh

New alternative from Australia that sounds refreshing. The band says its influences include Prince, E.L.O., and New Order which are good influences (read more by clicking on the album name) - it almost sounds like New Order's infamous bass player Peter Hook is a guest musician.

This isn't the best song on the album but probably most popular. More to come from this band when I get around to it.
