80s Alternative Underground Radio

Chris Atwood is a veteran DJ of Boston-area radio stations and has been spinning classic alternative since his college radio DJ days back in the mid- to late-1980s. In addition to his show “The Alternative with Chris Atwood” on Bombshell Radio, Chris’ show, The Alternative, is a widely-popular program for almost 10 years on Boston’s 95.9 WATD-FM.

Chris features 70s Punk, 80s New Wave, and 90s Shoegaze–along with interviews from the bands who made the music such as Gene Loves Jezebel, Peter Hook, The Alarm, A Flock of Seagulls, the Throwing Muses, and The Pixies, to name a few.

If there’s an 80s alternative music festival, you’ll find Chris there interviewing the bands and sometimes hosting the festivals.
