ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of centre and rough around the edges. This week, following the 2025 deluxe release of Pierce the Veil’s The Jaws of Life, relive “So Far So Fake”—which recently earned a viral TikTok boost—from the California rock band’s original 2023 set. Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
