Mainstream Radio Hasn’t Always Sucked One of my all time favorites. Fritz’s Corner, by Local H, essentially epitomizes 90s Alt-Rock in roughly 3 eargasmic minutes: snappy/furious drums, scratchy/screamy vocals, heavily distorted guitars, deep bass. Fritz’s Corner was released in 1996 on the As Good As Dead album. Enjoy!
