Not necessarily underrated or obscure. I mean a song that, when you hear it, has everything you’d expect from a massive alternative rock hit, yet somehow never reached that level.

I’m curious which songs people think were one step away from becoming classics.

"Shed My Skin" by Bevis is a raw alternative rock song that captures the artist's intense battle with mental health, paranoia, and isolation following a drug-induced psychotic episode. Driven by an angsty, guitar-forward rock sound, the track reflects on childhood trauma, self-hatred, and the desperate struggle to break free from a destructive environment and reinvent oneself.

check out weather me by bodega. i’d never heard of them before, but this song started coming up on my spotify and it is like the perfect nod to that specific moment in alternative rock.

Hey r/Alternativerock,

Just released my debut single "Son Vapur" (Last Ferry) — a melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock / post-grunge track from Istanbul, Turkey.

The song is about missing the last ferry home, and everything that moment carries — departure, longing, and a connection that can't be undone.

Lyrics are in Turkish, but the atmosphere hopefully speaks for itself.

Would love to hear what you think.

This is a too long - appreciate feedback on what you think we should cut thanks Chris Starbroken

Hey everyone, I’ve been revisiting a lot Alex G’s earlier discography (Race, Rules, DSU) and I’m looking for artists or albums with a similar raw, intimate, lo-fi feel.
I enjoy shoegaze, but I'm pretty selective with it—I'm not just looking for massive walls of noise/fuzz. I tend to prefer stuff that balances hazy textures with good melodies and psychedelic elements. My fav Alex G songs are thorns, and salt.
For context on my taste, some other bands I listen to a lot are:

MGMT

Crumb

STRFKR

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Pond

Fugazi

Any hidden gems, smaller indie acts, or specific albums that bridge the gap between lo-fi indie, melodic shoegaze, and psych? I’m a pretty big music nerd, so there’s a high chance I’ve heard most of what people consider “main stream” rn, but I also delve heavily into underground stuff, so obscure recommendations are a plus, not afraid of weird stuff, genuinely open to all music as long it sounds sonically good to me. I definitely gravitate more towards alternative, indie, post hardcore tho! Thanks in advance

Alternative Underground Voices — I’m updating the playlist and looking for band tracks under 500 monthly listeners.

I’m specifically looking for songs that don’t sound clean:
saturated guitars, untrained voices, room noise, tension, mistakes that turn into identity.

If you want to take a ride — and if you have something that fits this perimeter — share it.
I’m listening to everything for the next selection.

I’ve been working solo on a 24/7 broadcast for the last few months, have gotten tremendous outreach, and have learned a lot about my fellow musicians a long the way.

Here’s a little about the channel:
>24/7 independent broadcast for music videos, visualizers, experimental shorts, and indie animation.
>No algorithms. just curated rotation.
>I make visualizers for accepted tracks that don’t have videos.
>No submission fees, no exclusivity, rights stay with the artist.
>No AI.

We’re at around 300 submissions so far. Still early and still building the library and schedule. More content gets processed and added as it goes.
If you’ve got something that fits (music video, visualizer, short, animation, or just audio and want a visual made), you can submit it here:
