Thanks for the playlist, I recomend the band Being Dead. Their newest video remindsme to Attack on titan.

[@charlied7886]

From a standpoint of constructive criticism, I've noticed over the last few months in particular that the Indie Rock/Alternative playlists have metamorphosized into a continuation of the Indie Pop/Folk playlists. Personally, a more upbeat selection with more electric guitars & percussion would be a big improvement for enthusiasts of Rock & Alt Rock. Thanks much!

[@alexrainbirdMusic]

Really appreciate the feedback! We're taking this on board 🙂 In general, the summer playlists can sometimes tread into more pop/rock territory compared to the moodier playlists at other times of the year, which may be the reason for this. Were there any songs here particularly that stood out as not quite fitting the genre? 😊

[@charlied7886]

@@alexrainbirdMusic Thanks for the response! I've been an avid listener for about 2 years now & the Night Drive Indie Alt Volume 1 playlist got me hooked. Since then, I've listened to every playlist on your channel, but I tend to enjoy the Alt/Rock playlists more than the others. In particular it's somewhat hard to explain until you happen to listen to both playlists back-to-back as I usually do. I drive for a living & spend quite a bit of time listening to your channel, so I noticed that in the last 6 months or so there's been more of a soft rock & pop carryover to the Alt/Rock & it's almost been difficult to distinguish between the two. Obviously, some songs are exceptions to the case, but the difference is markedly noticeable compared to 2 years ago. This month was the first time that I enjoyed more from the Pop/Folk than the Alt/Rock.

[@jonathandeserres3491]

@@charlied7886 I have noticed a similar change as well but these playlists are still great.

[@charlied7886]

@@jonathandeserres3491 Personally, I just like more alt rock with my alt rock.
