2024 Alt Rock Songs of 2024: September 2024 thru December 2024

 

This list almost feels like the top 20 songs of the year for alternative rock with major songs on this list that were huge this year. Basically everyone on the list was on tour too. IF this was the top 20 of the year, I would say, Hozier, huge and and deserved, Myles Smith, great for him newbie and feel good hit, 

Love that Weezer was there with The Sweater Song about 30 years old but a bangerrrrr oh and Sublime lol. Blink, Green Day, Linkin Park all putting out new music this year and had huge tours. Linkin Park way controversial but yeah can't ignore all the rumors for sure....Jack white, Sum 41, Offspring, Almost Monday, all huge when we were young bands and now warped tour bands again?

Awolnation, Cage the Elephants both seem like super huge bands like future stadium bands. Badflower, justice was huge with Tame Impala, Dexter and the Moonrocks, and Royal Otis seem like great up and comers. oh and Beabdoobee too, seems like a Michelle branch type. 

Below are other songs with radio play that I loved, felt like more new songs this time around, for sure more rock sounding. Like I don't know if Culture Wars is going on tour next year but I'd love to see them! huge songs for sure. Judah & The Lion as well. Mod Suns hit was nice, Neon Trees I haven't heard from in a minute, Palaye Royales song Showbiz I lovedddd, Weathers too! new band I haven't heard of, Ekoh seems sick as well, Also the Wombats are always good. 

I'll keep posting and see if any other songs are dropping, I love finding new music, sometimes the music at Zara or H&M are fun but then when you listen to them it makes you feel like you're at a department store instead of studying or at the gym. But I'm sure the listens make huge money on a shopping stores playlist that loops everyday. 

I miss finding good live bands, Culture Wars seems like a good live band, I haven't seen too many shows that haven't worked in a minute the only one that was kinda disappointing was Glass Animals, but I think their vocal mix could have been better or just gone full DJ.
