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.

'Candy Cigarettes' by Owen Cohen

Is that Johnny Marr on guitar?  No, but this new stuff from NYC certainly carries some spirit and surrealness of that era.

Check out both songs on the link http://owencohen.bandcamp.com/
