WKQX/Chicago Rolls Out Podcast Companion To 'The History Of Alternative'

Hailing from San Diego, Almost Monday recently released an EP via Hollywood Records with their lead single “Broken People.” It features a remix from the Grammy-nominated duo, Sofi Tukker. “We wanted to write a song for people to celebrate the idea that they’re not perfect and that’s okay,” said lead singer Dawson Daughterty. “In the world we live in now, you think you need to be perfect, because you see everybody’s ‘perfection’ online. It’s very easy to feel inadequate because of how much exposure there is to everyone putting the greatest hits of their lives online. We tried to write an anthem about being yourself and embracing who you are.”

"Care" is the latest single from the 20-year-old singer-songwriter Beabadoobee. It is the lead single off her debut album, “Fake It Flowers” out October 16th. Beabadoobee said, “This song has end-of-a-90s movie vibes, like you’re driving down a highway. It is pretty much me being angry at society, or people around me who I just don’t think know me and don’t care. I don’t want you to feel f*cking sorry for me. I just want you to understand what I’ve been through. I never expected to be making the first video from my album during a pandemic! I was so lucky to be locked down with the bedroom guys, it feels like it turned out as one of the most personal, real videos I’ve made. I’m so excited to share it!”

"Dirty” is the latest single from grandson. It will be on his forthcoming debut full-length album, “Death Of An Optimist” set for release on December 4th. grandson says, “Dirty is a song I’m so proud of because it showed me that I can have a song that’s actually fun and feels positive without sacrificing substance. It stays true to the topics of agency and power but appeals to a common humanity in us that should be worth fighting for.”

"James Crow” is the brand new track from Austin singer-songwriter and multi-media artist Mobley. He explains, “I want to draw people in with that serotonin hit you get from a catchy, well-crafted song. But once they’re in, I want to implicate them in all of the grim, unsightly realities of what’s going on in our country. As they’re singing along, it’s like ‘What did he say? What am I chanting right now?”
