About the Contributors

Mel, primary writer of the Classic Alternative Blog, was an announcer, program director, and general manager of a college radio station from 1985-1995, and can't quite seem to shake her affection for the music.

Jeff is the host of the 80s Underground, a weekly terrestrial and podcasted radio show devoted to resurrecting the best (and most forgotten) gems of underground music from the 80s. An unapologetic music geek, Jeff has a particular fondness for the 80s – a decade that spawned his transformation from slave to bloated corporate rock to aficionado of post-punk, college rock, new wave and punk. His first concert was the band X at San Diego State University gymnasium in the Spring of 1987. His fondest memory of the decade was having his ears bleed for four days following aforementioned concert. He also relishes his vast fan club memorabilia from such bands as Guadalcanal Diary, Drivin n’ Cryin, The Darling Buds, and The Primitives (among many others).

Matthias lived though the 80s in various punk and new wave bands, hoping to never make it big…and didn't. He knows there are good songs produced today, but wonders where are the Train In Vain, the Dancing on Hard Tiles or the Just Like Heaven of today.
