@alternativenation Hey there! My name is Chelsea, I'm very green to Mastodon but just came across this community and figured I'd share some of my music. Comparisons include "Joni Mitchell meets Nirvana," Hole, and Patti Smith. My latest album, Queen of No, came out in May: https://open.spotify.com/album/2IcffqN7Cv0hUsuV9iEEq6?si=w73DEUqgQ3e4hIVspmWRlQ

I'm also a fan of alt from the 80's thru today - some favorites include The Replacements, Pavement, Bully, and Jimmy Eat World.

If you take the time, thanks for checking it out! 🙂

Welcome Chelsea. Will check out your album. If you like 80s alt, have you heard Electric Youth? Bit of a retro synth thing going on. My fave is The Best Thing.

@foofiepie Thank you! And I have not heard of them, but I'm listening to "The Best Thing" right now and this is cool - definitely getting the retro 80's synth-pop vibe. Thanks for the rec!
