The Alternative staff present to you our 50 favorite releases of 2024. 50 albums that we stand behind, and that only our team would ever put on the same list together, and that's something we're extra proud of.

An instant-classic Oso Oso song, Metafore's apocalyptic debut EP, and Lane's hazy math rock were some of our favorites this week. Check out all the releases we highlighted for our weekly roundup!

New Year, New Tunes, right? The beginning of a new year means that there are countless possibilites for what can be coming down the pike and one of our favorite things to do at The Alternative is to speculate about what we'll be getting as the year unfolds. Our staff put together a list of our most anticipated albums of 2022!

Chelsea was at the Oso Oso, Mom Jeans, and Tiny Moving Parts show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in NYC and took some excellent photos of all of the action. Take a look at her shots from the show while you blast some tunes from these 3 incredible bands.

Each year we award artists in 4 categories (Album of The Year, Most Underrated Release, Best Non-LP, and Best Debut Album). Here are the winners for 2017!

Real Stories of True People isn’t necessarily groundbreaking, but one of the celebrated aspects of music is that an album doesn’t have to be unique in order to be considered extremely enjoyable. Oso Oso’s ability to write breezy hooks accompanied by tastefully unfiltered lyricism will lead to individuals discovering, and ultimately, resonating with the album.
