SEATTLE (UPI)—A hot recording by what listeners describe as a hip new alternative band was discovered yesterday by the staff of a local radio station, exciting numerous area music listeners.
The recording in question, Double Platinum, by an unknown group identified only by the one-word, monosyllabic name KISS, was rushed to a nearby stereo where it underwent intense listening and scru-tiny by knowledgeable disc jockeys, many of whom have subscriptions to hip, al-ternative music magazines like Alternative Press, Spin, Op-tion and Rolling Stone.
The recording was found by DJ Josh Negler while rummaging through K-ALT’s vast library of recordings for his “Alternative A.M.” radio show. Negler, 27, has been an intense fan and expert on alternative rock for over 18 months.
“The CD player was down, so I had to find some vinyl,” Negler says. “I never thought I’d uncover such an unknown treasure, which I knew was alternative right away, as soon as I saw the silvery reflective packaging.”
