Our Favourite Songs of 2021: The Alternative Music Playlist
Bringing You the Very Best in Alternative Music EVERY Month
Our favourite tracks released throughout 2021
2021 was a massive year for music, so much so that it was impossible to keep up with the sheer volume of quality albums, EP’s and singles released on a weekly basis throughout the year. We’ll be celebrating our favourite releases of 2021 very soon but in the meantime here are some of our favourite tracks from the last 12 months, picked from our extensive monthly alternative music playlists.
We’ve got nearly 7 hours of eclectic, genre-bending, aural entertainment spanning alternative rock, underground metal, raucous punk and experimental hip-hop… not to mention massive pop bangers, smooth slow jamz, cooky progressive indie jazz odysseys and a whole lot more.
Follow it, share it, slap it on shuffle, tag us on the socials with your favourite tracks and don’t forget to send the artists plenty of love too!
Don’t waste any more time; get your lugs around The Alternative Music Playlist.

Thanks to all the artists whose street art we’ve photographed and used as cover images for all our playlists over the past year!
