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:

• Milwaukees, The - Call An Ambulance - This Is A Stickup

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:

• Buzzcocks - Sick City Sometimes - Buzzcocks [Grinder 19; New]
• Bleu - Get Up - Redhead [Grinder 18; New]
• Sense Field - I Refuse - Living Outside [Grinder 17]
• Kenna - Freetime - New Sacred Cow [Grinder 16]
• Fountains Of Wayne - No Better Place - Welcome Interstate Managers [Grinder 15; Leaving The Grinder]
