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.

'Elephant Rhythm' by Sleigh Bells

Love the big beat here and would love to see her . . . I mean 'them' in concert. Thanks Eli for the push on Sleigh Bells.

'Comeback Kid' by Sleigh Bells

Love this sound by a duo from NY off their new album called Reign of Terror. The band reminds me of another band but I can't place it.

Anyway, enjoy the enticing video.

'My Time' by Mackintosh Braun

Love the easy flow of this tune by a new band from Portland. Very dreamy but not sleepy - perfect for a rainy, lazy Sunday by the fire.
