The Very Best in New Alternative Music

April - August 2023

Hi. How are you? It’s been a minute but I’ve got something to tell you… The Alternative Music Playlist IS BACK!!!

This is 15 hours of curated alternative music. Expect rap, metal, dance, indie, ambient, alternative rock and everything in between. Let it become the soundtrack to your life for the next few months.

Follow The Alternative Music Playlist, share it, slap it on shuffle, tag us on the socials with your favourite tracks and don’t forget to send the artists plenty of love too!

Don’t waste any more time; get your lugs round it.
