The Raw Alternative

@EddieTrunk (I’m not talking about those newer bands that sound like 70s bands, garbage like Rival Sons), but some more cutting edge acts like Idles, Chelsea Wolfe, Health, etc Etc… maybe rock could nudge its way back into the spotlight.

@EddieTrunk Maybe if rock bands were as artistically daring as their hip-hop counterparts, they would receive mainstream recognition. And… maybe… if older music industry heads (this means you) would promote cutting edge new rock sounds…

Back in the day, when the #SuperBowlLIX did something truly crazy and radical , had rock bands play … wild!

Goodbye Twi… I mean… X. Follow us on @bluesky. And for our final… tweet?? Fuck you @elonmusk.

@BuddyWinston Heading there for a trial run. Politics aside, trying to spread art and/or news and information about art-related things has become impossible on this platform. It’s all clickbait and folks at each other’s throats over political issues. But yes, fuck Elon and MAGA.

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read our content, engage, share and generally spread the word on cool art and music. We will meet again. 🖤

Not that our engagement on here is even near anything to brag about, but we will probably be leaving this wasteland platform behind in the very near future. Aside from the mess it’s become since its current leadership took over, it simply serves less and less of a purpose.
