Tonight's homegrown music: The Alpines

The Alpines is an indie rock band from Salt Lake City, blending shoegaze textures, synth undertones, and raw guitars into something distinctly their own. Fronted by Bri’s emotive vocals and Danny’s atmospheric guitar work, their music moves between intimacy and chaos.
