Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 28 – 50 Years of Alternative Music

Thu, Aug 8, 2024

What a gamut of Alternative Music I have for you today, from the proto-punk of The Stooges in 1969 to the Alt-Metal of Tool in 2019 – and every sub-genre in between.

Our birthday honorees include Pat Smear (Germs), Taylor Locke (Rooney) and Eric Roberts (Gym Class Heroes) as well as Birthday in Heaven members Elliott Smith and Pete Burns (Dead or Alive).

And I’ve got 6 single releases as well as the usual albums and EPs.

And I’ll tell you about all of it starting at 1PM!
