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.

'Laid' by James

I'm not sure there's anything more to say about this tune by James.  This is probably their most popular song but not my fav - I'll post that soon.  Enjoy the live performance below.

BTW, they're another great band from UK and have released more records than you thought.

'Getting Away With It' by Electronic

SoDA is formally introducing the all-star English band formed by New Order singer Bernard Sumner and Smiths guitarist Johnny MarrPet Shop Boys also collaborated on this tune.

With all this talent, no wonder it sounds great.  I think it's a good one in which to flow into the weekend.  Hope you enjoy it and enjoy your weekend.

'Kiss Them For Me' by School of Seven Bells

Love this cover from the NYC band.  It has a cool club feel but keeps the magic of the original in tact.  I need to download on iTunes and dance at midnight.
