Top 10 Alternative Rock Throwback Songs


Yes we know that these days "alt. rock" is just a very large generalization of many genres. But we're still going to give this "Throwback" a go. Remember, we've already done throwbacks lists for pop punk and emo, both of which technically fall under the alt. rock category. So if you think we missed a song, be sure to click the respective links and check those lists for songs. We're also working on a "hard rock" list, so a song may appear there.  
 Any song is fair game so long as it is at least 5 years old.To see our honorable mentions click the following (link).

Though it's been about three months since the release, it seemed stupid not to do a review of this album. "Madness" is the fourth effort from post hardcore giants Sleeping with Sirens. Or used to be post hardcore, now some odd mix of mainstream pop, emo, and acoustic band Kellin and the Quinns.

Too Close To Touch - "Nerve Endings" Review


So last fall Epitaph Records released a single from a new signee, Too Close To Touch. At the time I didn't think much of the release, but after listening to the track, I was hooked on this band. I picked up their "self titled EP" and was completely sold on the band. And 3 months after their debut, I'm still jamming. So here's a full review of their debut, Nerve Endings. Here's a (link) to buy the album on iTunes. I did a brief review prior (which can be found on my deviantart Journal), but I really wanted to expand on it.
