Spinning the best subjects of rock, indie, punk, post punk, and shoegaze, we might also throw in some extra-curriculars: EDM, Dance, HipHop, or Drum n Bass may make an appearance too. A smattered palette of music, old and new, you will surely get your music history lesson while also learning that no, music didn't stop being good in the 90s, punk isn't dead, and rock is still very much alive.
