Sameer Gadhia Spotlights Featured Artists

Every month, Sameer Gadhia of Young the Giant selects an artist to feature on Alt Nation as his “Point of Origin” track, and shares daily information and insight into that artist. “Point of Origin” will provide a spotlight to challenge the homogenous narrative of alternative and indie rock music by amplifying voices of color in the past, present, and future of the genre.

Alt Nation with Madison

Now Playing

Madison regrets to admit her first concert was Julian Lennon. As to being a DJ she says, "I was too ugly to be in the movies," however Howard Stern himself has told her she's cute. If she weren't a DJ, she'd be a babysitter... or a hooker. Her worst job? "I was a chimney sweep. God, that sucked."

Jeff Regan

DJing is a lot better than Jeff Regan’s former job as a hole watcher. “No joke!” he says. “I had to stand outside an empty oil tank all day and write down who walked in and out of the hole.” At Alt Nation, he’s occasionally called upon when there’s a need for someone to watch the paint dry, but mostly it’s his skills on the mic that are taken advantage of.
