Another week, and yet another awesome 2 hours of great Alternative music! Hear bands like Buffalo Tom, Husker Du, Gravity Kills, as well as hear classic Alt bands like U2, Jane’s Addiction, and Depeche Mode (along with many, many more)!
We “Just Can’t Get Enough” of Depeche Mode 😉 (if you didn’t get that reference, you should probably brush up on your Alt Rock history…starting with this playlist)
