Hello and welcome to Bounce FM with me DJ Chappers!
Today’s show is all about ’90s rock anthems, which seems to always be overlooked by the awesome pop, hip-hop and dance tracks that just took over the ’90s, but let’s not forget the rock, grunge, metal, indie and alternative genres of the 90s; music that is and was absolutely groundbreaking, its music that has shaped and moulded the music we still hear today, the music released all through the noughties, through the teens and now the 2020s. It still rumbles on, a lot of ’90s rock is still extremely relevant today, ’90s rock is timeless and it has and still does to this day inspire musicians; but don’t just take my word for it, listen to the influences in the songs of the likes of the following Arctic Monkeys, Libertines, The Frattellis, The Kooks, White Stripes, The Black Keys, Royal Blood, Sam Fender, The Reytons, The Lathums, the list goes on and like a line from The Lathums’ How Beautiful Life Can Be track says “If I’m to inspire, it’s by example not by greed” to me that means that The Lathums have taken inspiration from many other musicians, which you can hear predominantly through each of their songs, and I’m pretty sure in many years time The Lathums will be the inspiration for many future musicians, thus keeping the wheels of music turning and carry on the circle of making music, inspiration, new emerging talent, making music, inspiration, new emerging talent, and so on!
So get your air guitars out, grab a drink and enjoy!
