Altrok Radio's Underground Pick Of The Week

Each Week, Jeff Raspe picks an outstanding track from a brand-new album. This week, the pick is:

• Wrens, The - This Boy Is Exhausted - The Meadowlands

In The Grinder:

Altrok keeps a running list of new songs that get played every week on the show, until we've pretty much ground them into the dirt. Each week, one song will leave the Grinder to make room for a new one. It's shameless, but it's honest. This week in the Grinder:

• Seedling - Get You 'Cause I Can - Let's Play Boys & Girls [Grinder 13]
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Stop - Stop [Grinder 12]
• Sarah Shannon - Are You Far Enough - Sarah Shannon [Grinder 11]
• New Pornographers, The - The Laws Have Changed - Electric Version [Grinder 10]
