Happy Wednesday! Your Happens.vip Alternative Artist Discovery Of The Week is The Linda Lindas. “In our band, we all sing and we take turns with lead vocals, so my sister is the drummer as well as a singer,” says Lucia. “People might be surprised that me and my sister are actually two different singers. Our voices sound pretty similar but we write different types of songs, and it’s funny how people that have really tried to learn about the band often get me and my sister confused when it comes to our singing.” Thanks to Edie Lundeen from Epitaph Records for VIP Access. 

Coldplay “ALL MY LOVE” is #1 Most Added this week on the Mediabase Alternative Add Board with Audacy showing big love before the new single officially ships to Alternative Radio. Congrats to Greg Dorfman & the Atlantic team!

Tough week for our friends at iHeart. Stunned to hear Mike Kaplan at WRFF (ALT 104.5)/Philly got caught up in the iHeart downsizing happening this week. Karah Leigh is also out after almost 20 years at KTBZ (94.5 The Buzz)/Houston. Get the scoop in Alternative News and reach out to these good people. It’s tough out there and we’re all in this together. I heard The Woody Show asking listeners this morning about how they reinvented themselves with work.
