7 Alternative Songs You Need to Hear Right Now

Don't say we didn't warn you

Al·ter·na·tive - (of one or more things) available as another possibility

At the time, the Seattle sound of the 1990s and the bands that followed into the 2000s were a welcome distraction from the glam of the pop and heavy metal world's alike. It was the birth of a genre, one that has constantly evolved and interwoven into the mainstream; just look at Bjork.

Listen to your favorite Alternative music now on Audacy

It's 2020. A new era, with a brand new set of artists molding their many influences into something they can call unique; something different; something alternative to the norm. Check out these tracks below…

Powfu – 17again

Canadian artist Isaiah Faber, aka Powfu, has a hit on his hands with "death bed (coffee for your head)," about a dying young man who's saying goodbye to his girlfriend. Here's his next offering, "17again."

Gus Dapperton - Post Humorous

Gus Dapperton's colorful videos and lovestruck songs channel his '90s influences using analog synths, reverb-heavy vocal crooning, and an overall smoothly produced take on bedroom indie.

Peach Tree Rascals – Mariposa

Peach Tree Rascals (Dominic Pizano, Issac Pech, Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq, Joseph Barros, and Jorge Olazaba) offer up elements of jazz, funk, hip hop, and R&B with the five-piece's Mexican, Filipino, and Palestinian roots fully apparent on "Mariposa," which means "butterfly" in Spanish.

iann dior feat. Machine Gun Kelly + Travis Barker – Sick & Tired​​

Michael Ian Olmo (iann dior) is best known for his massively streamed songs "Emotions," "Romance361," "Problems," "gone girl," and "18" -- now signed with Colombia Records, the Puerto Rican-American is breaking into the big leagues with the help of his punker-than-you pals MGK and Travis Barker.

Beabadoobee – Care

You already know and love 20-year-old beabadoobee from the viral success of her song “Coffee,” which Powfu later transformed into “death bed (coffee for your head).” Now she’s back on the scene with a brand new, ‘90s flavored track called “Care,” and hot off the presses news about her debut album.

Dominic Fike – Chicken Tenders

Florida singer/rapper Dominic Fike is getting set to release his debut album What Could Possibly Go Wrong on July 31 via Columbia Records which includes "Chicken Tenders," his latest "Politics & Violence," and 12 more tracks for your listening pleasure

jxdn – So What!

TikTok and Instagram celeb Jaden Hossler already has a massive following on the platforms, known for his lip-syncing videos. Now, he's putting that clout to work by launching his music career as the first signing to Travis Barker's DTA label.
