Like Manowar declaring war on “wimps and poseurs,” so too has Alt77 begun a noble fight against emotionless, sterile, boring music. Our tools in this battle are more humble. We don’t have steel and muscles to rely on, nor the budget to buy ads on the motorway.
Rather, we use silly jokes and mean-spirited insults. All we can hope for is to make our enemies weep into their expensive iPhone cameras.
But we like to throw praises and cast acclaim upon great artists on occasion. Most of them are unfairly stuck in the musical underground. Not for long, we hope. And not if we have our way.
Here’s our shot at rectifying matters. This is music for the ages, tunes made with heart and soul, the kinds of songs that would make Chris Martin cower in fear.
These are the very best songs featured and reviewed on Alt77 in May 2024. It’s a mix of classic punk, goth-tinged singalongs, and covers of Daniel Johnston. Our powers of music curation are reaching frightful levels of excellence. And, like Manowar before us, Alt77 has transformed into The New Gospel.
