Alternative Nation : The Fediverse's largest alternative and indie music community! All things alternative music, from 80s college rock to today's indie and all the amazing alternative music in between. Welcome home, music nerds!

Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

Welcome, to the Fediverse edition!

🎡🎧🎢

Subscribe, share, & chat!

Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!

See this post on recs on how to post!

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

🎡 Let's get lost in the Fediverse's record store together! 🎢

I don't know a lot about these guys except they are from my city, Melbourne, and have created a buzz that's seeing them bust out of the band rooms here and into the wider world. If you're in Ireland, UK, Netherlands and N. America, they appear to be touring. I also read somewhere that they have just relocated to London, like so many Australian bands before them.

They have an "angular", art rock sound, which isn't without its charms.

Noice. Getting Wombats/Tiny Little Houses vibes. A few hints of Morrisey in some vocals too.

Some of their listed influences are Talking Heads, The Cure, The Smiths, The Sunny Boys, Parquet Courts, Ought and The Strokes. I would say they sound quite English, so London might be just the place for them.
