Adult Album Alternative, or Triple A, is one of one of the widest ranging formats you’ll hear on broadcast radio. The Triple A format grew out of album stations of the 1970s and alt rock stations of the 1980s. Today, the format encompasses a wide range of great music, from classic rock albums through new indie rock and alternative. Beyond music diversity, one of the defining features of Triple A is a willingness to play album tracks and deep cuts.

On broadcast radio, non-commercial stations like KEXP in Seattle and WXPN in Philadelphia have lead the evolution of Triple A, giving new artists significant airtime and playing a particularly wide range of tracks.

Like its broadcast equivalents, Overhead.fm’s “Adult Album Alternative” station includes both new and classic artists. You’ll hear everything from indie darlings like Haim, Fitz & The Tantrums and Neko Case to classics like Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, and David Bowie. The playlist ranges from free-wheeling jam bands like My Morning Jacket and the Grateful Dead to studio perfectionists like Steely Dan and LCD Soundsystem.

The “Adult Album Alternative” playlist is designed to appeal to a particularly wide age range - the playlist includes tracks adored by consumers in their early 20s through their late 60s. This music also appeals to high-brow music consumers while also including plenty of well-known hits for casual listeners.
