This week, I’m joined by JT — guitarist and vocalist for The Uninvited — and we’re dialing into the deeper frequencies of ’90s indie and alternative music. 

These are the songs that shaped the era from the underground up and influenced a generation — the ones that lived on college radio, burned CDs, and late-night drives, even if they never cracked mainstream rotation. If you came of age in the ’90s alternative scene, this playlist is going to feel very familiar… in all the best ways.

Along the way, JT and I dig into The Uninvited’s story — from winning the MTV Beach House Band Contest, to releasing a major-label album on Atlantic Records, to returning with their first new music in nearly 20 years, Broken Promiseland. It’s a conversation about longevity, influence, and what it means to reconnect with the music that started it all.

Think fuzzy guitars, melodic hooks, and that unmistakable ’90s indie alternative DNA — this one’s for anyone who knows the best songs didn’t always live at the top of the charts.
